《After Pretending To Lose All My Money, I Learn Of Human s True Nature》


 Chapter 1

    China, Shanghai.


    At seven o¡¯clock in the morning, Jiang Feng stretched leisurely and got out of bed. Pulling open the curtains, he looked out of the window. In front of him was the road of a small suburban town, bumpy and uneven.


    ¡°Pancakes! Hot pancakes that just came out of the oven!¡±


    The shouts of the roadside hawkers kept echoing from the loudspeakers. Jiang Feng smiled and waved at the old woman who was jogging by the roadside. Then, he turned around and left the room, rushing to wash up. His time was tight during the holidays, not to mention that Jiang Feng still had a lot of things to do today.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s family lived in a small town on the outskirts of Shanghai. The ancestral home of his family was very old and had been renovated several times. Jiang Feng had lived in this courtyard square since he was young and had just graduated from university that year. Although he had majored in finance in university, his family¡¯s situation was not good. After graduation, he had made the same choice as other ordinary students. He had found a similar job and started to work to earn money to support his family.


    As the member of a new generation of workers, Jiang Feng had been working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days in a row. This time, he had gone home after working for a month. Only then had he gotten the chance to take three days off! And the reason he had done this was because his family was about to move!


    ¡­


    He fetched some water from the well in the courtyard to wash up. When he raised his head, he could see the huge word ¡°demolition¡± written on the wall. A smile appeared on Jiang Feng¡¯s conflicted face. His family had been poor for many years, and finally, the demolition of Shanghai had arrived. According to his mother, the family would get 10 million yuan in compensation for the demolition! This was great news for Jiang Feng¡¯s family!


    As Jiang Feng was washing up, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard. When he opened the door, he saw that it was the demolition office. They had come with the demolition contract so his family could sign it. The terms had already been finalized after a few rounds of nuclear negotiating, so there was no need to say anything else.


    His father, Jiang Jianzhong, signed the contract, and ten million yuan was transferred into their bank account! The on-site transaction was paid, and the entire process was recorded. The demolition office was also working very quickly. After all, construction was about to begin.


    After signing the contract, they requested that Jiang Feng¡¯s family move out within two days. Because the demolition had been announced six months ago, the municipal government had already prepared for the relocation. His mother, Yu Xiumin, had promised repeatedly that it would all go well. She handed him a nice cigarette and led the demolition office people out of the house. After returning, his mother kept running around happily. The whole family was also extremely excited about this!


    They would be relocating to a 120-square-meter house and getting 10 million yuan for the demolition. The Jiang Family, which had always been poor and down-and-out, suddenly became a bunch of multimillionaires overnight! Jiang Feng did not waste any time and immediately arranged for everyone to move. Thanks to the moving company that Jiang Feng had called over, as well as his own help, the old house was completely empty in one morning. Everything was moved to the relocation house in the suburbs. They had finally left the small town and moved closer to Shanghai! While sitting in their new home, the family of four was extremely happy. But Jiang Feng knew that this happiness would not last long!


    ¡­


    Just as Jiang Feng had expected, when they had just finished unpacking in the afternoon, while he was sitting on the sofa watching TV with his little sister, there was a knock on the door. Then, a lot of relatives entered one after the other.


    They had all found Jiang Feng¡¯s new home very easily, as if they had installed a navigation system in their cars. The living room of Jiang Feng¡¯s small home was filled with relatives. There were both people he knew and people he didn¡¯t know there. To avoid embarrassing his parents, Jiang Feng politely served tea to his third, second, fourth, and fifth aunts. Meanwhile, his mother was introducing some of the relatives he didn¡¯t know to Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Little Feng, this is your third aunt. She hugged you when you were young.¡± As soon as Yu Xiumin¡¯s voice was heard, the woman¡¯s face was immediately stretched by a big smile.


    She looked at Jiang Feng and praised him. ¡°Xiao Feng has grown so fast. He¡¯s already so tall and handsome.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me. He¡¯s not just handsome, but promising too. Now that he graduated from university, he¡¯s starting to earn money!¡±


    ¡°College students can really help their families now!¡±


    ¡°Being able to find a job in Shanghai is indeed impressive. This child is really capable!¡±


    Before the third aunt could finish her words, a few relatives next to her immediately spoke up. Everyone had started praising Jiang Feng wildly! But when these words reached Jiang Feng¡¯s ears, he only felt disgusted. He had just graduated in June, and he still remembered clearly what they had all said back then.


    ¡°He¡¯s just a lousy undergraduate. He¡¯s just a piece of trash in Shanghai! He¡¯s bound to be useless!¡±


    ¡°What? He only earns 6,000 a month. He doesn¡¯t even earn that much. How embarrassing. Don¡¯t call me your third uncle!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Feng got a job? Our Wayne just got a job too. I bought him a car. Jianzhong, aren¡¯t you going to buy a car for your child?¡±


    ¡°Oh my, Xiumin! It¡¯s been so many years. Why don¡¯t you get your child new clothes? Look at my Lili¡¯s brand-name clothes!¡±


    He had heard them say these words, listened to their strange voices, and seen their disdainful, mocking eyes. Jiang Feng remembered everything clearly! All these years, Jiang Feng¡¯s family had been living a tough life. During their most difficult years, when his father had been sick, he had never seen them lend a hand. Every year, when they would return to the city to visit their grandparents for the new year, they would mock and humiliate his parents.


    They had never once visited their hometown and brought even two ounces of pork! But now that the house had been demolished, they¡¯d unexpectedly come to visit with a box full of milk! Unable to cope with this, Jiang Feng found an excuse to go to his room.


    As soon as he entered his room, he turned on his cell phone and saw that the number of notifications from the university group chat was surprisingly 99+. He opened the university group chat and saw that the chat was very lively.


    ¡°F*CK, F*CK, F *CK! Young Master Jiang is about to rise!¡±


    ¡°I heard that the minimum compensation for the demolition in Shanghai is six million yuan!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Feng got full marks in his professional courses when he was in school. He won¡¯t be able to take off just because of this big compensation!¡±


    ¡°Awesome! Jiang Feng is not only a favored son of heaven, but also a favored son of fate. This wave of luck will definitely help him take off!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about it anymore. I want to hug Brother Jiang¡¯s thigh. Bring me along when you make a fortune in the future! Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Many of the students in the group were talking enthusiastically. It seemed as if everyone was very familiar with Jiang Feng. However, only Jiang Feng, who was on the other end of the screen, knew that many of the people who were talking about him had never said to him more than ten sentences! Apart from the lively conversation in the group chat, he had also received hundreds of private messages.


    As he looked at the messages sent by classmates and friends he had not seen in a long time, Jiang Feng¡¯s heart was also very conflicted! Among these friends, some had been close to him in the past, and some had been just ordinary classmates. Jiang Feng casually replied to a few of them, and half of them asked to borrow money from him after saying a few words. The other half asked Jiang Feng out to a meal for the first time. They even said that they wanted to help Jiang Feng change jobs. By looking at this plethora of messages, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t tell who was a true friend and who was a fake one!


    ¡°This can¡¯t be happening!¡±


    Turning off his phone, Jiang Feng sprawled on the bed and muttered to himself while looking at the ceiling. Countless people had suddenly started to care about his life, and everyone seemed to be very sincere. However, at the same time, everyone seemed to be extremely hypocritical. They were only doing this for his money!


    Among them were his unlikable relatives, his best friend, Shen Wen, and many other good friends of his. Jiang Feng was unable to tell who was truly sincere. At that moment, a mechanical voice spoke in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind.


    [Ding! Congratulations on activating the Divine-Grade Choice System.]


    [Choice 1: Show off your money. Allow everyone to mooch off you and continue living as usual.]


    [Reward: Title ¨C Good Person]


    [Choice 2: Invest in Bitcoin and wait to make a fortune!]


    [Reward: 100 million! (One-Time Deal)]


    ¡­


    Upon hearing the voice that had suddenly spoken in his mind, Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately reacted. After reading countless web novels, he could immediately understand that he had been bound to a system! As he looked at the words that had appeared in his mind, Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he chose the second option without hesitation! With a single thought, the system¡¯s voice spoke again in his mind in a second.


    [Ding! You have made your choice. The reward has been successfully obtained. It is a limited one-time deal, so please cherish the opportunity!]


    The system¡¯s voice echoed. Jiang Feng only felt a lot of information appear in his head and knew that the reward had started to take effect!

 Chapter 2

    After accepting the reward of the system, Jiang Feng returned to the living room. His parents had been chatting with their many relatives for a long time. Jiang Feng had just heard them while he was in his room. Many people had come to borrow money, as some of their children wanted to get married and get betrothal gifts, and others needed a down payment to buy a house or the full amount to buy a car.


    Also, their businesses had not been doing well recently, so they could not borrow some money and pay it back in two days. There were all kinds of excuses, and each of them used their relatives to pressure the old couple. Jiang Feng¡¯s parents also tried their best to deal with them. When they were about to run out of ideas, Jiang Feng opened the door and walked out.


    Seeing Jiang Feng come out, Yu Xiumin quickly turned her head and said, ¡°Xiao Feng, look at you. You¡¯ve been busy for so long, and your relatives are all here to see you. Why don¡¯t you come here and talk to everyone?¡±


    Yu Xiumin¡¯s reaction was very quick, and she immediately changed the topic of the previous conversation. This caused the voices of many of her relatives to instantly become quieter. Many people turned their heads and continued to say what they thought Jiang Jianzhong and the others wanted to hear.


    ¡°I told you that Jiang Feng is promising. Look at how limited his time is. The company won¡¯t leave him alone. If we need anything, we will have to look for him to ask for help!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, he is our family¡¯s most capable child. I always thought that this child would achieve great things since he was young!¡±


    However, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t care for this fake flattery one bit. How could Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumin not know what their relatives were really like? They just didn¡¯t want their relationship to become too awkward. After all, they were all a family brought up by the same old man. It wouldn¡¯t be good to disturb the harmony.


    Jiang Feng walked to the sofa and said without hesitation, ¡°Mom, our company has a big project coming up. It will be a success for sure. I will invest the family¡¯s money first.¡±


    After saying that, he took his bank card out of Yu Xiumin¡¯s bag and left the house with it. Even though some people behind him tried to stop him, saying that he had to be cautious about investing and discuss it with the family first, they were unable to make Jiang Feng stop.


    As he left with the money, many of his relatives knew that there was no hope of borrowing money this time. After a few simple words, they also left one after another. When they left Jiang Feng¡¯s house, their originally amiable faces immediately changed, and they started cursing.


    ¡°He really ignored my good intentions. That son of a b*tch still wants to invest? What the f*ck is he doing!¡±


    ¡°I was about to borrow 300,000 yuan! I was so close! I¡¯m so angry!¡±


    ¡°Look at Jianzhong. He¡¯s still a coward despite having so much money. He¡¯ll be like that for the rest of his life!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, his legs were injured from work back in the day. Now, he can¡¯t even walk properly. If he walks with a limp, I¡¯ll laugh myself to death!¡±


    Jiang Feng didn¡¯t know any of this. At that moment, he had already taken the money from his family and gone downstairs to a cafe by the street.


    ¡°Sir, here¡¯s the coffee you ordered. Enjoy.¡±


    Jiang Feng took the freshly-brewed coffee from the waiter and opened the Bitcoin trading center where he had just registered. Just as the call ended, a new person arrived at Jiang Feng¡¯s house. It was Jiang Feng¡¯s girlfriend, Yu Jia. After hearing the news, she had immediately flown to Shanghai with her parents overnight to go to Jiang Feng¡¯s house!


    However, Jiang Feng wasn¡¯t at home at the moment. After hearing from Jiang Feng¡¯s mother that Jiang Feng had gone to work, she didn¡¯t bother him. Instead, she started coming up with her own plan to please him.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng was holding his phone and looking at the current Bitcoin market. The current price of bitcoin was 65,000 dollars, but it was soon 420,000 dollars, and the information kept changing. The price of Bitcoin continued to rise, and it looked like it was going to reach a new high! But in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind, that was not the case.


    The information of the system appeared in his mind at that moment. Tomorrow, Bitcoin would experience a historic mega-crash! It was unavoidable. According to the information of the system, right before the market closed today, the famous financial entrepreneur Semak would polish all of his Bitcoin holdings, which amounted to a total of 200 billion!


    He would also publish this news on social media platforms ten seconds before the market closed. This news would make all Bitcoin holders panic and cause a chain reaction. When the market opened tomorrow, countless people would scramble to sell their holdings. This would cause the price of Bitcoin to plummet! As long as Jiang Feng sold all his Bitcoin before the market closed today, he would be able to earn ten times more tomorrow!


    As he looked at the system¡¯s information, Jiang Feng was a little uncertain. After all, the system said it was easy, but he was holding the entire family¡¯s wealth in his hands! He looked at the time, and there was still an hour before the market would close. After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng still chose to use his bank card. He set the payment page to 10 million and arranged to short Bitcoin by 50% the next day!


    Then, he opened the home page of Semak and waited for the message that the system was talking about! If Semak really posted this message, then Jiang Feng would not hesitate to pay. Ten seconds was not enough for others to complete such a complicated operation. But for him, a man who was prepared, it was enough! After all, he knew that if such a bigshot sold his Bitcoin, then countless people would follow his lead. No one wanted to be the last lamb to be slaughtered. If Semak didn¡¯t post this message, Jiang Feng wouldn¡¯t trust the system. He would never risk the hopes of his entire family by taking such a big gamble!


    After making preparations, Jiang Feng stared at his phone, waiting for the message to appear. Even though the coffee in front of him was already cold, he didn¡¯t notice it at all. Finally, an hour passed. Jiang Feng waited for the text message, his fingers moving rapidly.


    The payment was completed in ten seconds! As he counted down the seconds before the market closed, Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes glinted with a trace of a smile. At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. Upon seeing the name of his good friend Shen Wen, Jiang Feng clicked to accept the call.


    ¡°Brother Feng, you are awesome! I didn¡¯t expect your family to demolish the house. I¡¯m rich now.¡± As soon as the call was picked up, Shen Wen¡¯s familiar voice was heard.


    Before Jiang Feng could say anything, Shen Wen spoke again. ¡°Brother Feng, come to Jiangnan Imperial Kitchen in a while to have a drink. Let¡¯s see who can drink the most! Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°Sure, I¡¯ll come over in a while.¡±


    When he heard his words, Jiang Feng, who had originally wanted to go home, agreed with a smile. It was a rare chance for him. He had wanted to get together with his good friend for a long time. Besides, he was free now, so he could go over and have a drink! After saying that, the two of them chatted briefly for a while before hanging up. Jiang Feng went out to get a taxi and immediately rushed to the Jiangnan Imperial Kitchen.


    ¡­


    An hour later, he arrived at the restaurant. Shen Wen had already gotten a private room and was waiting there. Perhaps it was because they hadn¡¯t seen each other in a while, or perhaps it was because Jiang Feng was happy that he had money, but the two of them began to drink non stop.


    They kept drinking until ten o¡¯clock in the evening, for a full five to six hours. They drank until the sky was dark, until they drank to their hearts¡¯ content. The two of them also chatted a lot. They talked about the embarrassing things they had gone through in school, the hardships at work, and the wonderful vision of starting a business together.


    Jiang Feng was drunk, but happily drunk at that. Shen Wen got a room for him at a nearby hotel, threw him on the bed, and let him sleep soundly. Then, he drove his big car back to his own home.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng, who was so drunk that he had lost consciousness, woke up at noon the next day. It was the system voice in his mind that woke him up!


    [Ding! The Bitcoin mission has been completed. The system has automatically helped you sell it. Divine-Grade Choice System activated.]


    [Choice 1: Flaunt your wealth in a high-profile manner. Let everyone know that you¡¯ve earned 100 million!]


    [Reward: A bowl of hangover soup!]


    [Choice 2: Keep a low profile and hide. Post on WeChat that you¡¯ve gone bankrupt and enjoy life!]


    [Reward: Super-Prediction Card!]


    ¡­


    Upon hearing the system¡¯s voice, Jiang Feng got out of bed. After being stunned for a long time, he finally reacted. Looking at the system¡¯s two options in front of him, Jiang Feng smiled. Although he indeed needed a bowl of hangover soup right now, compared to the hangover soup, the Super-Prediction Card was obviously more attractive!


    ¡®Choice 2!¡¯ Jiang Feng thought.


    The system immediately responded.


    ¡°Ding! Congratulations on successfully choosing the second option. You have acquired the Super-Prediction Card! Please complete the mission as soon as possible and experience the cold and warm side of life!¡±


    As the system spoke, a golden card immediately appeared in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind. A few seconds later, the card disappeared. Jiang Feng knew that it had been stored in the system space. Next, it was time to post a WeChat moment! Jiang Feng patted his head and picked up the phone resting next to his pillow!

 Chapter 3

    In the hotel, Jiang Feng first checked the balance of his bank card. At the moment, there was 100 million in his card! As he looked at the money, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t help but smile.


    In one night, his 10 million had increased tenfold! From a multi-millionaire, he had instantly become a billionaire! If this had happened to anyone else, they would have already begun jumping in excitement and shouting. But in Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes, thanks to the system, this 100 million would be just the beginning!


    ¡­


    Pushing away these thoughts, Jiang Feng got out of bed and began to take selfies. Then, he looked for some pictures on the internet before he picked up his phone again and started to edit them. He worked on the picture he had just found by using a nine-square grid. Then, he added two lines of text.


    ¡°Not everyone can win the Battle of Bitcoin. Success or failure often happens overnight!¡±


    ¡°The investment failed. I¡¯ll just start all over again!¡±


    He typed out these simple lines, pressed OK, and posted them on his moments. He didn¡¯t set up a reminder for anyone to see. He just casually made a post. He simply wanted to complete the mission of the system and make a joke out of it.


    In the photos, he had deliberately made it look like he was down and out. He also attached a screenshot of the news report on the collapse of Bitcoin, as well as the transaction record of him buying 10 million in Bitcoin.


    After doing all this, Jiang Feng leisurely began to brush his teeth and wash his face. Smelling the stench of alcohol on his body, he also took a shower. After cleaning up completely, he leisurely walked out of the hotel.


    ¡­


    It was already noon, and Jiang Feng¡¯s stomach was growling from hunger. Last night, he had been so engrossed in drinking that he hadn¡¯t even eaten a few peanuts. Now, he felt as hungry as a wolf! Therefore, once he left the hotel, Jiang Feng wanted to have a good meal first.


    Shanghai¡¯s Dongpu District was very close to Shen Wen¡¯s company. Jiang Feng remembered that Shen Wen worked there. He was Jiang Feng¡¯s best friend, and the two of them had gone to high school and later to university together. They had been very good friends in the past few years.


    When he was in school, Jiang Feng used to help him handle the things that he couldn¡¯t deal with. If anything good happened, Jiang Feng would also think of his good friend. This time, he had made a huge profit by selling Bitcoin. Jiang Feng naturally had to celebrate. Walking along the street, he took his cell phone out of his pocket. He then got ready to call Shen Wen.


    At this hour, he should have gotten off work, so they could just have a meal together. But the moment he opened his phone¡¯s interface, dozens of red WeChat messages immediately attracted his attention. With a hint of interest, Jiang Feng opened his WeChat Moments. He had never expected that, in just an hour, his WeChat Moments would explode! The first message that he saw was actually someone else¡¯s post.


    ¡°This is hilarious! Hahahaha, someone actually dared to buy Bitcoin these days, and he lost 10 million. I can¡¯t take it anymore! I¡¯ve been laughing so hard that my stomach¡¯s started to hurt! Ahahaha!¡±


    After looking at this post, Jiang Feng scrolled down. The pictures he saw were all from his WeChat Moments. Upon looking at the person who had made the post, Jiang Feng was stunned. This guy was a college classmate who had wanted him to find him a job. Yesterday, he had been trying to please him, but today, he was scolding him in his moments! This made Jiang Feng feel a little confused.


    Could they have taken one of his Moments too seriously? Weren¡¯t the WeChat Moments a place for everyone to share entertaining news? Jiang Feng had posted this piece of news, and the guy had believed it? Filled with doubt, Jiang Feng continued to scroll down. After a few posts, as expected, he saw that someone had posted the same thing.


    ¡°This is how you became the favored son of heaven. All your professional knowledge should be taken with a grain of salt!¡±


    ¡°If only you had lent me all your money yesterday, it wouldn¡¯t have been wasted. This is the end of our friendship, you piece of trash!¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at the straightforward post and the accompanying picture below, shaking his head with a bitter smile. He hadn¡¯t expected Sun Shijie to be such a person. Jiang Feng had always treated him as a good friend. During the college exams, Jiang Feng had taken the risk to let him copy off him many times. How many times had he lent him the money that he didn¡¯t have every month? As a former roommate of his, there was no need for him to mention other big and small things. At the end of the day, he was such an ingrate!


    When he had seen Jiang Feng¡¯s Moments, not only had he not wondered whether it was all true or not, but he had not cared either. Instead, he had cut off all his ties to him and even insulted him! Jiang Feng could see his true colors clearly. If this kind of thing had happened to someone else, they might have directly opened their mouth in anger. But Jiang Feng was still very calm, as he remembered what the system had said yesterday.


    ¡°Finish the mission as soon as possible and experience the cold and warm side of life!¡±


    Now, he finally understood. The system had wanted him to see the hearts of the people around him clearly! Upon thinking of this, Jiang Feng felt much calmer! He knew that there was definitely more than one person like Sun Shijie out there.


    Controlling his emotions, Jiang Feng continued to scroll down. Sure enough, there were also comments and curses posted by other people among his Moments. This allowed Jiang Feng to see quite a few people clearly. By the time he scrolled through all the moments, he had clicked on hundreds of red messages. A moment later, countless more messages flooded in. There were 70 to 80 likes for this post alone, and there were more than 100 comments below!


    ¡°Good guy! He¡¯s still learning how to play with virtual currencies despite that cowardly look of his. Don¡¯t you see what he¡¯s made of?¡±


    ¡°Last night, he was still a multimillionaire. Today, he has become a poor dog again. I knew long ago that this guy wouldn¡¯t remain rich!¡±


    ¡°Look at his eyes in the photo. They¡¯re all bloodshot. Damn you, you¡¯re a prodigal son!¡±


    ¡°How can you call yourself a proud son of heaven? You had so much financial knowledge, but you still let the dogs eat you. In the end, you remain a piece of trash!¡±


    ¡°Jiang Feng, how does it feel to be poor? You were poor when you were in school, and you¡¯re still poor now. You¡¯ll never be better than me!¡±


    ¡°This kind of thing could happen to me? This is too ridiculous! Delete friend. I feel unlucky just by looking at your account!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Looking at the countless comments, Jiang Feng smiled bitterly and sighed. He had only posted a message, and they hadn¡¯t even asked him about it. They just didn¡¯t know whether it was true or not, yet they had directly hit him while he was down! Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng finally understood.


    When he had been rich yesterday, each of them had been more attentive than the last, and every single person had treated him better than the last one. When his investment had failed, they had stepped on him with all their might! Many of them used to be his classmates. They were all finance majors, and everyone knew that investing was risky, so it was understandable that he would fail.


    However, they had forgotten that they had said yesterday that they would help him change jobs. Instead, they swore at him and mocked him openly! It turned out that they had not really wanted to help. They would rather live on the streets in poverty and become beggars that no one wanted to deal with. And they would never reach out to help.


    As the saying goes, the poor might play with ten steel hooks in the street, but they would not hurt their own relatives. On the other hand, the rich could not tell who was loyal and who was not. Sure enough, the saying was right! Yesterday, they had not cared about Jiang Feng, but for the benefits that Jiang Feng could have brought them.


    Only when people were at their most down and out could they see clearly what kind of people their relatives and friends were. Who truly cared about them and who was only acting and was totally different behind the scenes! Looking at his short circle of friends, Jiang Feng could not help but sigh. His current circle was completely realistic!


    ¡®I wonder what my girlfriend, who likes to spend money recklessly, would do if she knew this?¡¯


    Upon thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t help but think of his girlfriend. And as Jiang Feng sighed, a call came. Speak of the devil, and she shall appear. The call was from his girlfriend, Yu Jia. Jiang Feng looked at the phone, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button.


    ¡°Jia Jia, I¡­¡±


    ¡°Jiang Feng, let¡¯s break up.¡±


    When the call went through. Jiang Feng didn¡¯t even have the time to finish his sentence. From the other side, Yu Jia¡¯s cold voice could be heard. Before Jiang Feng could finish his sentence, he heard her angry voice.


    ¡°You useless piece of trash, I must really have been blind to be interested in a guy like you!¡±

 Chapter 4

    Yu Jia had naturally heard about Jiang Feng¡¯s bankruptcy! For someone like her, who often spent money without restraint, the news of her boyfriend losing all his money in one night was devastating. How was she going to live the rest of her life?


    The reason she had fallen in love with him before was because his family had been planning to demolish the house. In the end, she hadn¡¯t expected not to get a single cent out of all the money from the demolition. She had even wasted a few months of her time on him. Yu Jia¡¯s face was filled with hatred as she cursed Jiang Feng loudly.


    ¡°You only have a better-looking face than others. Other than that, you are useless!


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for that money, do you think I would be with you?


    ¡°You useless thing, you deserve to go bankrupt. You are the only one who still wanted to invest in Bitcoin. You were not born with that ability in your mother¡¯s womb!


    ¡°A person like you will never be able to turn over a new leaf in life! You¡¯ll be poor for the rest of your life!¡±


    As he faced all kinds of cursing from Yu Jia, Jiang Feng just silently hung up the phone. He didn¡¯t want to waste any more words on this kind of person.


    ¡®As expected, this gold-digging girlfriend of mine isn¡¯t reliable at all.¡¯


    In the past, she used to be very obedient. Now that he was down and out, she wanted to just flip the table and leave. However, Jiang Feng wasn¡¯t sad at all when Yu Jia left so heartlessly! They hadn¡¯t known each other for long and they didn¡¯t have deep feelings for each other. So what if they broke up? After seeing her face clearly, Jiang Feng was satisfied!


    As he was thinking about it, his phone suddenly began ringing non-stop with notifications. Jiang Feng pushed the Yu Jia matter aside and picked up his phone to check. He then saw the messages of the class group chat.


    ¡°@Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, how does it feel to gamble it all away in one night? Come out and share with everyone.¡±


    ¡°@Jiang Feng, that¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We haven¡¯t experienced it yet. Going bankrupt in one night should be quite exciting, hahaha!¡±


    ¡°@Jiang Feng, can you still afford to eat? How about I give you 50 cents so you can buy a steamed bun?¡±


    ¡°@Jiang Feng, how can you only buy a steamed bun? I¡¯ll add 50 cents and get you a bag of pickled vegetables!¡±


    ¡°@Jiang Feng, everyone has donated. How about I give you another dollar and buy you a bottle of mineral water to prevent that steamed bun from choking you?¡±


    ¡°You guys can¡¯t say that. Jiang Feng is so handsome. He eats better when he grinds steel balls for rich women!¡±


    ¡°Hahahaha, are you guys trying to kill me from laughter? Grinding steel balls? Tsk, tsk¡­ The image is too beautiful for me to even imagine!¡±


    The messages in the group chat continued coming one after another. The messages among the circle of his friends did not stop either. As time passed, word of mouth spread. The news that Jiang Feng¡¯s investment had failed and that he had gone bankrupt overnight quickly spread. Many of the students who had been very jealous of Jiang Feng appeared. All of them spoke without restraint, mocking Jiang Feng and adding insult to injury.


    As he looked at their comments, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t help but frown. These people were too unscrupulous! But this also allowed Jiang Feng to truly see the reality of his social circle! Before he had ¡°gone bankrupt¡±, the people mocking him now had been fawning over him. But now? Each and every one of them had come to kick him while he was down. The reality of it was breathtaking.


    ¡°The group leader has activated silent mode.¡±


    As everyone in the group was mocking Jiang Feng, suddenly, the chat box was locked. Then, a message was sent out.


    ¡°Those who study finance know that it¡¯s common for investments to fail.¡±


    ¡°Watch what you say. This isn¡¯t a place for you to be impudent!¡±


    Upon looking at the message, Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment. This was a message sent by the group leader, Lin Miaoxue. After she finished speaking, she once again removed the group chat restriction. She initially thought that this would be enough to calm everyone down, but she did not expect that the people in the group would not stop at all. Many people directly opened their mouths to argue with Lin Miaoxue.


    ¡°Lin Miaoxue, now that everyone has graduated, the class monitor is useless. Don¡¯t play around by showing off your authority here.¡±


    ¡°You think a person like Jiang Feng deserves sympathy? What a joke!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s a country bumpkin. His poor life is over there. He didn¡¯t cherish his money properly or even learn from others how to invest. He deserves to go bankrupt!¡±


    ¡°A country bumpkin like him has no idea how to invest. We¡¯ve been teaching him out of kindness. Hahaha.¡±


    Many people even began to mock Jiang Feng even more. Looking at the situation, Jiang Feng sighed helplessly. In a group chat of so many classmates, there were some who Jiang Feng had been very good friends with in the past. Although they did not publicly ridicule Jiang Feng, none of them dared to stand up and speak up for him.


    Only class monitor Lin Miaoxue stood up and spoke up for Jiang Feng. Should he conclude that the world was cold? Or that human nature was complicated? Such a classmate, such a friend¡­ And such a girlfriend. As he processed all of this, Jiang Feng felt a myriad of emotions in his heart!


    ¡­


    ¡®I wonder how Shen Wen is doing?¡¯


    Jiang Feng closed the group chat and looked at Shen Wen¡¯s WeChat profile picture. In an instant, his heart inexplicably felt a little conflicted! At that moment, the phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was his mother calling, Jiang Feng sorted out his emotions and picked up the call.


    ¡°Mom.¡±


    ¡°Where are you? Why aren¡¯t you home yet? Xiaoyu has been injured and hospitalized. She needs 30,000 yuan now,¡± Yu Xiumin said anxiously as soon as the call was picked up. There was a hint of blame in her tone, but she sounded more worried and anxious.


    ¡°Mom, I¡­¡± Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng was shocked and he quickly tried to answer. However, before he could say anything, Yu Xiumin interrupted him again.


    ¡°How did you lose the 10 million for the house¡¯s demolition? You¡­


    ¡°Sigh, forget it. Let¡¯s talk when we get back! Your father and I will think of a way to pay for Xiaoyu¡¯s treatment. Hurry up and come home!¡±


    Yu Xiumin¡¯s voice contained some anger. But in the end, her anger turned into love as she scolded Jiang Feng. They had already found out about the failure of Jiang Feng¡¯s investment. This ten million was definitely a huge fortune for any family. But it was gone in one night. As family members, no one could help feeling uncomfortable. But the thousands of words in their hearts did not leave their mouths. On the other end of the line, Jiang Feng¡¯s heart ached when he heard his mother¡¯s words. Tears then welled up in his eyes.


    ¡°Mom, don¡¯t worry. I have a way to pay Xiaoyu¡¯s medical fees.¡± Jiang Feng held back his emotions and spoke firmly. The most important thing now was his little sister¡¯s health.


    However, just as he finished his sentence, Yu Xiumin objected.


    ¡°No! Stop messing around. Your father and I will borrow money from our relatives. We can always borrow some money.¡±


    As soon as he heard his mother¡¯s words, Jiang Feng¡¯s mind was filled with images. When he was young, back when his father had been sick for a few years, the family had been so poor that they hadn¡¯t even been able to cook. His mother had borrowed money from relatives many times. He still remembered what his third uncle and the others had said at the time.


    ¡°You¡¯re so poor that you can¡¯t even cook. I¡¯m not having a good time either, Xiumin. I just bought my son a Mercedes-Benz. I don¡¯t have any money on hand. I still have to pay the car loan.¡±


    ¡°How am I rich? The mortgage is 2,000 a month. It¡¯s so stressful that I can¡¯t even breathe. Don¡¯t think I¡¯m dressed well either. I¡¯m actually very poor. Xiumin, you¡¯d better find another family member to help you.¡±


    The second aunt had been sitting on the sofa, munching on sunflower seeds. Jiang Feng clearly remembered her strange expression.


    ¡°Little girl, what are you doing? What if you break that? Can your family afford to pay for it? You b*stard, hurry up and leave. Your shoes are dirtying the floor of my house!¡±


    The third aunt had slapped his little sister¡¯s hand, which had been reaching out to grab some candy. Jiang Feng could still vividly remember her scolding them angrily and chasing them away. Besides, these relatives already knew about his ¡°investment failure¡±. His third aunt, second uncle, and the others had already insulted him repeatedly in the large family group chat.


    ¡°@Jiang Feng, you¡¯re a coward. Jianzhong, you¡¯ve really suffered through eight lifetimes of losses!¡±


    ¡°Last night, I asked you to lend me money, but you didn¡¯t return the favor. Now, this disaster happened. What a sin. You sure deserve it!¡±


    ¡°Xiumin and Jianzhong have been poor their entire lives. It wasn¡¯t easy for them to get a chance to turn things around, but now, they¡¯ve been squandered by this b*stard. These two poor people didn¡¯t have a chance to be rich!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the fault of a son who didn¡¯t learn from his father. Could a coward like Jianzhong give birth to a good son? He¡¯s still such a coward!¡±


    The group chat was filled with all kinds of curses. Yesterday, they had been laughing obsequiously, and today, they were scolding their relatives viciously. How could his parents borrow a penny from them? Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t believe it!


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Hurry back home. Your father and I will think of a way!¡±


    As Jiang Feng was thinking, Yu Xiumin¡¯s voice was heard again. After speaking, she directly hung up the phone. The moment the phone was hung up, the crisp system voice suddenly spoke in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind.


    [Ding! You have experienced the cold and warm side of life. The Divine-Grade Choice System has been activated.]


    [Choice 1: Expose the truth, slap everyone in the face, and use money to blind them.]


    [Reward: A can of coke!]


    [Choice 2: Continue to keep a low profile. Look at the demons and monsters dancing around, post on WeChat Moments to find someone willing to help a person who¡¯s down and out, and successfully borrow 30,000!]


    [Reward: A limited-edition Pagani Huayra Imola!]

 Chapter 5

    Looking at the system¡¯s notification, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t hesitate to choose the second option. Then, he made another post on his WeChat Moments.


    ¡°Urgent family emergency! I really need 30,000 yuan! Help!¡±


    The system had said that Jiang Feng should look for the person who would save him when he was down and out. But in Jiang Feng¡¯s opinion, in his current situation, no one would come to save him! Everyone looked on coldly. They would not dig into the truth of the matter, and they would not call to ask what was going on either. There were many people who wanted to kick someone while they were down.


    A few minutes after Jiang Feng posted a status update, red messages popped up one after another. He casually opened his WeChat Moments, and there were already dozens of comments under his status update.


    ¡°You need money now? Who told you to mess around yesterday? Serves you right! Go to hell, you piece of trash!¡±


    ¡°Look, a multimillionaire who can¡¯t even afford 30,000 yuan. I¡¯m laughing my *ss off.¡±


    ¡°People only want to avoid a piece of trash like you. Why would they lend you money? Who would just throw money away?¡±


    ¡°That unlucky guy risked it and invested everything. He had a death wish. He deserves what¡¯s happening to him!¡±


    ¡°I have 30,000 yuan. Do you want it? If you want it, you can kowtow and beg me. Maybe I will lend it to you. Haha!¡±


    In the comments section, mean people kept laughing like crazy. Almost everyone was cursing Jiang Feng with very vicious words. They should feel no enmity for Jiang Feng. In fact, Jiang Feng had helped them a lot in the past. However, now that Jiang Feng was in trouble, they couldn¡¯t even show the most basic respect. Under the circumstances, they were all completely heartless. Jiang Feng had seen their true colors!


    After closing his Moments, he remained calm for a moment and then clicked on Shen Wen¡¯s profile picture. He was Jiang Feng¡¯s best friend! As a result, the first person that Jiang Feng thought of when he wanted a meal was him. Back in school, Jiang Feng had taken the risk to let him copy his test paper. In the months after their graduation, Shen Wen had also had difficulty finding a job. Jiang Feng had lent him all the salary he had saved in the past few months without saying a word. He had even used his own abilities to help him.


    Although 20,000 yuan was not a lot and his abilities were not much, they had helped Shen Wen with these difficulties and allowed him to continue looking for a job smoothly. In the end, he had been hired by a listed company in Shanghai, and his salary was now several times that of Jiang Feng!


    Last night, during their meal, Jiang Feng had heard that he had signed a big contract this year and immediately earned hundreds of thousands of yuan. Given his current status, 30,000 yuan should not be a problem for him at all. Upon thinking of this, Jiang Feng calmed down and dialed his number.


    ¡°Ah Wen, my sister is injured. The doctor said that her bones are broken!


    ¡°Brother, I need some money urgently. Lend me 30,000 yuan. My sister¡¯s life is at stake!¡±


    When the call was connected, Jiang Feng did not have any time to chat. He directly asked to borrow money. In his opinion, there was no need to keep a good friend in suspense. He also had a smile on his face as he spoke to Shen Wen sincerely. If he got Shen Wen to give him 30,000 yuan, Jiang Feng knew how he would use the 100,000,000 yuan he would earn. When the time came, he would definitely help Shen Wen and make a lot of money with him!


    ¡°You need to borrow 30,000 yuan? Jiang Feng, are you unaware of your situation?¡± On the other end of the line, Shen Wen¡¯s tone changed, and he answered coldly.


    ¡°But brothers help each other out¡­¡±


    ¡°No, no, no, Jiang Feng. You better figure this out by yourself. Why are you calling me your brother?


    ¡°If I lend you 30,000 yuan, when will you return it to me?


    ¡°You¡¯ve already squandered all your assets. Given your bad luck, will you be able to pay back the 30,000 yuan?


    ¡°I thought that you would use the money from the demolition to improve. If you had, you wouldn¡¯t have had to worry about making a living in the future!


    ¡°Now, it seems that your fate is completely different. You can only be an employee of a small company for the rest of your life. You will only live at the bottom of society with the other stinky fish and shrimp there.


    ¡°I¡¯m working for a big company now. I can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan with just a single order. We are not on the same level anymore!


    ¡°So, Jiang Feng, what makes a poor person like you think that I will lend you 30,000 yuan?


    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t it be nice if I went to the clubhouse and spent 30,000 yuan there instead?¡±


    Before Jiang Feng could finish his sentence, Shen Wen¡¯s heart-wrenching words hurt him like a machine gun. He had never expected that the moment he said that he wanted to borrow money, his good friend would say such bone-chilling words to him! His words were filled with disdain, mockery, and humiliation, all of them targeted at Jiang Feng. He did not make even the slightest effort to conceal his feelings. After hearing his words, Jiang Feng was silent for a long time.


    ¡°Ah Wen¡­ You¡¯ve become a total stranger.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget that I was the one who helped you get where you are today.


    ¡°Besides, a person¡¯s life is at stake. How can you be so heartless?¡±


    Jiang Feng shook his head bitterly. He was really disappointed. He had thought this was his best friend. In the end¡­ Jiang Feng laughed bitterly. He was really a failure. Even his best friend was treating him like this. As the saying goes, true love is revealed in times of adversity! When a person is down and out, what they see is often the clear truth!


    ¡°Jiang Feng, you can¡¯t say that.


    ¡°I was hired by a listed company based on my own abilities. I worked hard!


    ¡°Besides, I returned the money you lent me back then. I repaid the favor by treating you to a drink yesterday. We¡¯re even now!


    ¡°As for a person¡¯s life being at stake, what does it have to do with me?


    ¡°Are you kidding me? That¡¯s your sister, not mine!


    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯m too lazy to talk to someone like you. Don¡¯t look for me again in the future. We¡¯re not friends anymore!¡±


    As soon as Shen Wen finished speaking, the call was hung up. As he listened to the busy tone, Jiang Feng laughed self-deprecatingly. For a moment, he felt that he was really miserable. He didn¡¯t even have one true friend. He thought that, after so many years, he should have at least a few close friends. But now, it seemed that Jiang Feng had been overthinking things.


    His girlfriend was a gold-digger, his good friend was a snobbish man, and everyone else just kept kicking him while he was down. This time, a casual move had exposed everyone¡¯s icy hearts. Jiang Feng was silent. This time, he had seen through them all. But now was not the time to think about this.


    His sister was still waiting for the money to go to the hospital for treatment. He had to hurry up and take care of it. Jiang Feng pushed away his thoughts, flagged down a car, and rushed to the hospital.


    ¡°Ding, dong¡­¡±


    Just as he got in the car, Jiang Feng¡¯s cell phone rang. Upon opening the interface, Jiang Feng saw a transfer of 30,000 yuan. When he looked at the name of the person who had transferred the money, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t help feeling stunned.


    ¡°Why would she transfer the money to me?¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at Lin Miaoxue¡¯s name on the notification and felt a little confused for a moment. But the next moment, a warm current gushed out of his heart. At least, this proved that he had a true friend.


    But when he thought of her, the girl who had spoken up for him in the class group chat recently, Jiang Feng still felt a little puzzled. He couldn¡¯t understand what Lin Miaoxue was thinking. If his memory served him, he and Lin Miaoxue had been just ordinary classmates. Lin Miaoxue used to be the class monitor, so she had always been busy with all kinds of things. Of course, she was absolutely beautiful, and she had been considered the school belle, but the whole school had also thought of her as a cold, aloof snow-white beauty.


    Of course, Jiang Feng had liked her deep down, but their statuses had been too different. She was a goddess who stood high above him, well-liked by everyone, while Jiang Feng had been just an ordinary student from a poor family. He had never thought that the two of them would cross paths, much less that Lin Miaoxue would transfer to him 30,000 yuan today!


    As Jiang Feng was in a daze, Lin Miaoxue sent him a message, her tone still as cold as ever. ¡°Here¡¯s the money you need to save her life. Take it!¡±

 Chapter 6

    Jiang Feng was quite surprised when he saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s message. He still didn¡¯t understand what was going on, let alone what Lin Miaoxue was thinking. However, when he looked at this life-saving money, his heart felt warm in a moment. Suddenly, the system¡¯s voice spoke in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind.


    [Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission. You have found someone who sincerely helped you when you were down and out. The reward has been distributed.]


    [Ding! The brand-new limited-edition Pagani Huayra lmola is now in the parking lot below the residential area. You can use it at any time.]


    After listening to the voice in his mind, Jiang Feng pushed this information to the back of his mind. He currently had no time to care about the car at all. As he was sitting in the taxi and holding his phone, Jiang Feng¡¯s mood was extremely complicated. He suddenly recalled something that had happened with Lin Miaoxue back when he was in school, and he gradually found some clues to explain this.


    If his memory served him, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s family was quite rich. But the cold and aloof Lin Miaoxue had always seemed to be totally self-reliant. Back in school, she had been working part-time to pay for her living expenses. Because Jiang Feng¡¯s family was poor, he would often work part-time too.


    Every time, he seemed to accidentally meet Lin Miaoxue, who was also working part-time. The two of them would greet each other whenever they met, but that was all. In school, Lin Miaoxue would always ask him some questions about their studies when no one was around, and Jiang Feng would generously answer.


    However, when he carefully thought over these things, Jiang Feng discovered some distinct details. Every time he would see Lin Miaoxue smile, he was always alone with her. Her smile was very deep in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind. Under her pink lips were two sharp canine teeth, and her moon-shaped eyebrows gave off an extremely pure and gentle vibe.


    Other than that, Jiang Feng had never seen Lin Miaoxue smile. In front of others, she would always be as cold as ice. The coldness in her eyes would keep others a thousand miles away! Upon thinking of this, no matter how stupid he was, Jiang Feng understood.


    ¡®Does this girl like me?


    ¡®It¡¯s been four years. Why didn¡¯t I think of this before?¡¯


    Jiang Feng really felt that he had been a little blind. This goddess had been right beside him and had unintentionally expressed her goodwill so many times, waiting for him to take the initiative. However, he had ignored her. Instead, after graduation, he had chosen a vain, money-obsessed girlfriend.


    ¡®I¡¯m really humble by nature. It¡¯s not my fault!¡¯


    Jiang Feng sighed repeatedly. Back when he was poor, he had never thought that he would have any interactions with such a girl. But now, Lin Miaoxue had still helped him as usual.


    And now, he was no longer the poor kid of the past. At this moment, there was a huge sum of 100 million in his card! This made Jiang Feng feel a little conflicted. But after thinking about it for a moment, he still chose to accept Lin Miaoxue¡¯s money.


    At the same time, he also replied to her message. ¡°Thank you. If you are free, can I take you to dinner?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s reply was quite pertinent. After all, after graduation, he hadn¡¯t heard much about Lin Miaoxue¡¯s situation.


    Less than a minute after Jiang Feng¡¯s message was sent, she replied, ¡°Is the money not enough?¡±


    When he saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s reply, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t know whether he should laugh or cry.


    He quickly replied, ¡°No. It¡¯s just that we haven¡¯t seen each other since graduation. Let¡¯s have a meal so I can thank you for your help.¡±


    Just like before, Jiang Feng put on a show. After everything was settled, he would naturally reappear as a billionaire. Then, he would repay her handsomely and thank her properly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need. You should handle the emergency at hand first. We¡¯ll talk about the rest later.¡±


    Looking at Lin Miaoxue¡¯s reply, Jiang Feng shook his head with a bitter smile. It seemed that he had read too much into it. Lin Miaoxue had tactfully rejected his invitation.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Jiang Feng replied politely, ending their conversation.


    Then, he asked the driver to speed up and quickly drive him to the hospital. His sister was still young, so she was the treasure of the family. Jiang Feng loved her very much. Naturally, his heart was filled with anxiety for her. He only hoped that nothing bad would happen to her.


    ¡°Ding, dong¡­¡±


    Just as Jiang Feng was thinking about it, an authoritative message popped up.


    ¡°I¡¯ll come to the hospital to visit your sister in two days!¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled when he saw the message that Lin Miaoxue had sent now.


    ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Miaoxue was having afternoon tea with her best friend, Liu Xinyao. The two of them worked in the same building, so they often met at the company cafeteria downstairs.


    ¡°Tsk, tsk, I really didn¡¯t expect that such a financial genius would actually make a bad investment!


    ¡°Their house was just demolished for 10 million yuan, and the money disappeared overnight. This means that he isn¡¯t capable enough!


    ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s so good about him. I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    As Liu Xinyao said this, she glanced at Lin Miaoxue angrily. Lin Miaoxue, who was sitting next to her, shook her head when she saw Liu Xinyao¡¯s disappointed look. Her gaze was still fixed on the street outside the window.


    However, her expression suddenly became serious. ¡°He¡¯s not that kind of person!


    ¡°I know he must have encountered some difficulties.¡±


    As Lin Miaoxue said this, there was a faint trace of worry in her eyes. Upon seeing her best friend like this, Liu Xinyao took two sips of tea in a row. She then turned her head and asked with a frown, ¡°You still like him?¡±

 Chapter 7

    As Liu Xinyao¡¯s question reached her ears, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face instantly turned red. The redness spread from her snow-white neck to her ears. Lin Miaoxue, who was originally calm, immediately averted her eyes. ¡°No, what are you even thinking?¡±


    At that moment, Lin Miaoxue looked like a frightened deer. Although she looked cold and aloof on the outside, she was extremely sensitive and warm on the inside.


    Looking at Lin Miaoxue, Liu Xinyao shook her head repeatedly. ¡°I really don¡¯t understand. How could he be so blind? He has this goddess by his side, yet he hasn¡¯t even noticed. He actually found such a horrible woman instead.


    ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s such a pity for the goddess. Even now, she¡¯s still in love with him. It¡¯s such a pity that her graceful figure is going unnoticed.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯re talking too much.


    ¡°Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and leave as soon as you finish your drink. Get back to work.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue responded to Liu Xinyao¡¯s sarcasm tenderly.


    ¡°I can¡¯t even talk about it anymore. Alright, alright, I¡¯ll get to work! Are you satisfied now, Miss Lin?¡±


    Liu Xinyao rolled her eyes at Lin Miaoxue dotingly. She then picked up her bag and pulled her out of the cafeteria.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng closed the door of the taxi and appeared at the entrance of the city orthopedic hospital. Standing at the entrance of the hospital, Jiang Feng took out his phone to check his account. There were eight zeros in the balance, as he had 100 million yuan. Jiang Feng composed himself and carefully looked at the ward number sent by his mother.


    After confirming his younger sister¡¯s ward and patient number, he walked straight to the payment counter. Without hesitation, he paid the 30,000-yuan fee in one go. He even sent money to the specialist doctor¡¯s account number. Then, he took the receipt and went straight to his sister¡¯s room. Jiang Feng pushed open the door of the room and immediately saw his sister lying on the bed.


    He quickly went forward and asked with concern, ¡°Xiao Yu, how are you? Does it hurt badly?¡±


    ¡°Brother, I¡¯m fine.¡± His little sister smiled and spoke in her childish voice.


    Jiang Feng looked at her and gently touched her head with a face full of affection.


    ¡°Brother, how are you? Are you okay?¡± Looking at Jiang Feng, the little girl questioned him with a face filled with concern. It was as if she didn¡¯t need to be taken care of, as Jiang Feng needed it the most.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Jiang Feng smiled as he answered the little girl¡¯s questions. Then, he turned his head to look at his parents, who were standing next to him.


    ¡°Dad, what did the doctor say?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. She hurt a small bone. It can be fixed with a small operation,¡± Jiang Jianzhong quickly replied.


    Jiang Feng looked at his parents, who were standing in front of him. At that moment, he suddenly felt that they seemed to have aged a lot. Without even thinking, he knew that they had been asking their relatives for money. They were worried about getting the money for the surgery.


    Looking at them, Jiang Feng took out the bill in his hand. ¡°Dad, Mom, don¡¯t worry. I just paid the medical fees.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the old couple immediately looked up at Jiang Feng, their faces full of shock. 30,000 yuan was not a small amount for their family. Jiang Feng had just lost all his money, and he had not worked for long, so he could not have saved any money. Where had he gotten so much money all of a sudden? The old couple could not help but feel their hearts tighten as they thought of some bad scenarios.


    ¡°Xiao Feng, where did you get so much money?¡±


    Yu Xiumin was stunned and quickly took a few steps forward before she asked agitatedly, ¡°Could you have approached a loan shark or something?¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong became even more anxious, and his eyes widened.


    Seeing the old couple¡¯s reaction, Jiang Feng held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.


    ¡°I borrowed it from a female classmate,¡± he said with a smile.


    He was careful about lying again. Upon hearing his words, the old couple immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Since he hadn¡¯t gotten the money through nefarious ways, they were relieved. However, Yu Xiumin was still a little worried.


    She looked at Jiang Feng and reminded him, ¡°Xiao Feng, you can¡¯t do anything reckless. You have a girlfriend now.


    ¡°If Yu Jia finds out that another girl lent you such a large amount of money, she will definitely be suspicious!¡±


    Speaking of his girlfriend, Yu Jia, Jiang Feng immediately remembered what she had said on the phone just now. He immediately felt a little unhappy. At that moment, his little sister beside him also had an angry look on her face. She held Jiang Feng¡¯s hand and started to speak.


    ¡°Hmph! Yu Jia¡­ As soon as you left the house last night, she brought her parents over.


    ¡°When she came, she was all smiles and she was very nice to our parents. She kept trying to flatter them.


    ¡°But after she left, she began cursing and swearing. It wasn¡¯t pleasant to hear!


    ¡°Hmph, brother, you have no idea¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiaoyu, don¡¯t say anything else. Your brother just came back. Don¡¯t make things difficult for him.¡±


    His sister was only halfway through when their mother stopped her.


    ¡°Oh, I know.¡±


    The girl listened to her mother and reluctantly agreed with a sullen face. It was obvious that she was still very angry deep down. There were a lot of things that she did not say out loud. However, upon hearing Xiaomei¡¯s words, Jiang Feng turned his head to look at his parents again. He felt even more unhappy in his heart.


    ¡°Xiao Feng, this matter¡­¡±


    ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t have to worry about it. I will handle it myself!¡±


    Yu Xiumin looked at Jiang Feng¡¯s expression. She had been about to speak when Jiang Feng interrupted her. Upon seeing Jiang Feng¡¯s expression, though, she didn¡¯t say what she wanted to. She knew that she couldn¡¯t convince her young son after all.


    Just as Jiang Feng and his family finished speaking, the door of the ward suddenly opened with a bang. The loud sound made everyone turn their eyes to the door.


    ¡°Yu Jia?!¡± His mother looked at the figure that walked in as she exclaimed in surprise.

 Chapter 8

    Upon seeing Yu Jia suddenly appear there, the whole family was a little surprised.


    ¡°My child, you came to visit Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister?¡± Jiang Jianzhong said with a smile.


    He thought Yu Jia had come to visit his daughter in the hospital. As for what had been said at home, he understood. After all, Jiang Feng was in trouble and had lost all the assets of the family. As his girlfriend, Yu Jia had wanted to live with him in the future and had relied on this money. It was understandable that she was angry! But in the end, she was still one of them. As long as she could learn from her mistakes, she would still be a good daughter-in-law.


    ¡°Come in and take a seat. You must be thirsty after a round trip to the airport. Let me get you a glass of water,¡± Yu Xiumin told Yu Jia with a warm smile.


    She knew that Yu Jia had only scolded Jiang Feng in a moment of anger. After all, Jiang Feng was the one who had a problem. But when she had calmed down, she had still come back. Yu Jia would definitely not forget how well Jiang Feng had treated her. Only his younger sister, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at Yu Jia with hatred in her eyes.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to be that kind of person. You¡¯re really a b*stard! A total scumbag!¡± Yu Jia glanced at Jiang Jianzhong and his wife, directly ignoring their warm greeting. She turned her head to glare at Jiang Feng as she spoke loudly.


    The moment her words left her mouth, everyone present froze. Yu Xiumin and Jiang Jianzhong stood rooted to the ground, unable to react. Jiang Feng looked at his familiar yet unfamiliar girlfriend, who had suddenly appeared there. He had already guessed that Yu Jia must have followed them there.


    In fact, everything was as Jiang Feng had expected. After Yu Jia had sent her parents away, she had called Jiang Feng. She had been full of anger, as she¡¯d suddenly started having some doubts. After all, they had been together for two months. The Jiang Feng she knew had always been very frugal, and he had never invested in anything. She couldn¡¯t help but think that some people would pretend to have no money to test their girlfriends after they got rich!


    With this thought in mind, Yu Jia had quickly gone to the hospital and waited downstairs for Jiang Feng to arrive. She had seen that Jiang Feng had paid all the money as soon as he¡¯d arrived, which had made her secretly happy. She had thought that Jiang Feng was testing her, but when she had followed Jiang Feng all the way upstairs and eavesdropped outside the ward for a long time, she had finally understood the truth. It turned out that Jiang Feng¡¯s investment had indeed failed and he had lost all his money. He had just borrowed money to pay the medical expenses, so she was extremely angry.


    The reason she had been dating Jiang Feng in the first place was because his house was going to be demolished. In the end, after spending a few months on him, it had all been for naught. How could she not be angry? That was why she had charged into the ward like that.


    At that moment, while looking at the aggressive woman in front of him, Jiang Feng said coldly, ¡°What do you want?¡±


    ¡°What do I want? You really have no sense of shame, Jiang Feng!


    ¡°I¡¯ve been with you for a few months. You poor boy, it¡¯s your potential fortune that attracted me to you!


    ¡°You didn¡¯t know how to cherish it and you even cheated on me. Don¡¯t you have any sense of shame?¡±


    Yu Jia looked at Jiang Feng and immediately began to criticize him loudly. He opened his mouth to say that he had not cheated on her, but he shut his mouth when she called him a jerk. Then, he scolded her furiously.


    ¡°Cheated on you? What evidence do you have to say that I cheated on you?¡± Jiang Feng looked at his parents, whose faces were filled with shock, and said coldly to Yu Jia, ¡°Yu Jia, my parents are here. I advise you to keep your mouth shut!¡±


    If it weren¡¯t for his parents, he would have slapped this woman to death. During the time that Jiang Feng had been with her, he had treated her as well as he could. Even though he had pretended to be broke and she had broken up with him, Jiang Feng had still accepted it. However, she had just slandered him for no reason and spouted nonsense in front of his parents. Naturally, Jiang Feng was furious. It was already very polite of him to speak to her like this!


    ¡°Hehe, what kind of girl would lend a piece of trash like you 30,000 yuan for no reason?


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you fool around with another woman to get this 30,000 yuan?


    ¡°You scumbag, I wasted so much time on you. You have to compensate me for my lost youth!¡±


    Yu Jia crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Jiang Feng. She looked as if she wouldn¡¯t leave if he didn¡¯t give her the money. That was indeed what she was thinking. A few months of her time had been wasted. She had to at least get some money before she left.


    Yu Xiumin and her husband heard this and felt extremely awkward. The two of them hadn¡¯t known what their son¡¯s love life was like, and they were at a loss for words now. They stood in their original spots, unable to say a word. As they watched Jiang Feng and Yu Jia argue, they could only feel anxious deep down.


    Jiang Feng looked at Yu Jia, whose eyes were already red. He had completely lost the last bit of respect he¡¯d had for her as his girlfriend. At that moment, the voice of the system spoke in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind.


    [Ding! The Divine-Grade Choice System has been activated.]


    [Choice 1: Reveal that you have been pretending you lost everything and compensate everyone for the damages.]


    [Reward: Title ¨C Bullying Coward!]


    [Choice 2: Conceal the truth, keep a low profile, pretend to be poor, break up with your girlfriend, and tell her to get lost.]


    [Reward: The ocean-view villa Imperial Super Manor!]

 Chapter 9

    After looking at the system¡¯s new mission, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t hesitate to choose the second option. He had already given Yu Jia a chance, but this greedy woman hadn¡¯t taken it. She had actually scolded him in front of his parents. She had even asked him to give her money for her lost youth! Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t take it anymore!


    He reached out and blocked his mother, who was about to explain. He then took a step forward and glared at Yu Jia with cold eyes.


    ¡°Who do you think you are? How much is your youth even worth?


    ¡°Did I not waste my own youth by being with you?


    ¡°You don¡¯t even know who lent me the 30,000 yuan, yet you called me a scumbag!


    ¡°You¡¯re so greedy, yet you still dare to stand here and accuse me of cheating on you?


    ¡°How many times have I helped you? How much money have I spent on you? Have you helped me once?


    ¡°How did your parents raise a b*tch like you? It¡¯s one thing to add insult to injury, but you have no sense of shame.¡±


    ¡°Who broke up with whom this morning? Now, who¡¯s the one causing trouble here? Do you want me to call the police to make you settle down?


    ¡°Yu Jia, have some dignity. Don¡¯t act like a smelly shoe that gets trampled everywhere it goes!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s curses made Yu Jia¡¯s eyes widen in anger.


    She looked at Jiang Feng with eyes ready to burst into flames. His words had made her feel bad. She had been pampered like a princess from a young age and had never been scolded like this before.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Why are you even addressing me? Get the hell out of here, you b*tch!


    ¡°I¡¯ve already tolerated you enough, even though you pretended to fall in love with me for the sake of the demolition fund. Don¡¯t make me slap you!


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you again: We¡¯ve already broken up!


    ¡°You have nothing to do with me anymore. Get as far away from here as you can!¡±


    Yu Jia was about to retaliate, but she was immediately scolded by Jiang Feng. As she faced him, she felt a little guilty. She was indeed a little afraid of Jiang Feng¡¯s anger.


    ¡°You have guts, Jiang Feng. Don¡¯t regret this later!


    ¡°This is not over. I will make your whole family pay!¡±


    Yu Jia looked at Jiang Feng, who was already angry, and felt fear and rage in her heart. She pointed at Jiang Feng¡¯s family and said a few harsh words as she retreated and walked out the door. The family behind her was completely shocked at that moment. They had never seen Jiang Feng so angry before. Even Yu Jia had been a little afraid of Jiang Feng¡¯s anger just now, as he had looked like he was about to give her a beating.


    When he saw Yu Jia leave the ward, Jiang Feng¡¯s expression quickly improved. Jiang Feng could be hostile to outsiders, but he was definitely kind to his own people. He turned around to face his parents and little sister, and a smile appeared on his face again.


    ¡°Little sis, you weren¡¯t scared, right?¡±


    Jiang Feng stroked his little sister¡¯s soft head as he spoke to her gently.


    ¡°Big brother, you scolded her very nicely. Just as you should have. She¡¯s shameless!¡±


    His little sister shook her head and spoke with a smile on her face.


    It seemed that Jiang Feng¡¯s angry words had indeed relieved her anger. Meanwhile, Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumin, who were standing beside her, had also seen Yu Jia¡¯s true colors.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect her to be that kind of person. I treated her so well!


    ¡°I was wondering why she was even angrier than the two of us today. She just kept scolding us.


    ¡°So she was here for the demolition money. She¡¯s very greedy, but I was blind for so long that I couldn¡¯t see her true colors.¡±


    As the old couple spoke, they were also very unhappy. They hadn¡¯t expected the girl they had treated so kindly to actually be an ingrate. However, after looking at Jiang Feng, they all shut their mouths and didn¡¯t say anything else. After all, Jiang Feng was definitely feeling the most uncomfortable right now.


    ¡­


    At the same time, Yu Jia had taken the elevator to the hospital lobby, her heart filled with anger. She hated Jiang Feng to the bone. Not only had she not managed to get any money in the past few months, but she had also been scolded by Jiang Feng in the end. As a spoiled child, she could not take this lying down. She silently swore that she would make Jiang Feng pay for this!


    At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. Yu Jia looked at the message her aunt had sent her and clicked on it. A second later, her aunt¡¯s familiar voice came from the other end of the line.


    ¡°Jia Jia! Are you in a relationship right now?¡±


    Her aunt got straight to the point.


    ¡°Don¡¯t say anything. I just broke up with him,¡± Yu Jia replied, sounding a little angry.


    ¡°Hehe, I knew that gigolo was unreliable. I will introduce you to a mature, steady man.


    ¡°His family is very rich, and he has several apartments in Shanghai. He earns tens of thousands a month just by collecting rent. He is very wealthy.


    ¡°He is just a little older, but his condition is definitely top-notch.


    ¡°Don¡¯t you young people say that love is blind? So, do you want to go on a blind date with him?¡± her aunt said with a smile.


    Her words were very pleasant to hear. When Yu Jia heard her, her eyes immediately lit up. The anger she had felt just now instantly disappeared, and she quickly agreed.


    ¡°Of course I want to go on a blind date. Maybe we¡¯ll be a good match.


    ¡°Aunt, send me the address. I¡¯ll come over to see you right away.¡±


    Yu Jia was overjoyed, and her face was full of smiles.


    ¡°You poor thing, just wait and see!¡±


    Yu Jia cursed Jiang Feng in her heart and then ran out of the hospital quickly. She reached out to hail a cab and immediately disappeared from the hospital entrance.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, in the hospital, the family was sitting together in silence. The old couple could see that Jiang Feng¡¯s expression was not very happy and could not help but feel a little worried. After hesitating for a while, Yu Xiumin finally said what was on her mind.


    ¡°Little Feng, now that our family¡¯s money has been spent, you still owe others tens of thousands of dollars. Your father and I can¡¯t help you pay them back.


    ¡°All the relatives in the family want to keep kicking you while you¡¯re down. No one is willing to lend you a single cent.


    ¡°Now that Yu Jia has abandoned you too, what should we do next?¡±


    As soon as Yu Xiumin spoke, the atmosphere became even more somber.


    ¡°Xiao Feng, don¡¯t feel burdened. I¡¯ll go out tomorrow and look around. Maybe I will find some work.


    ¡°It¡¯s a pity that my leg is hurt and I can¡¯t help you and your sister much.


    ¡°Otherwise, I would be able to afford her medical expenses!¡± Jiang Jianzhong was also worried about his son, so he quickly spoke up. However, when he said this, he looked at his hurt leg and couldn¡¯t help but sigh. This made the atmosphere in the room completely gloomy.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have gone down to play with Lili. If I hadn¡¯t gone to look for her, I wouldn¡¯t have fallen.¡± The little girl on the hospital bed looked at her parents and spoke in a low voice, sobbing a little.


    Jiang Feng, who was sitting by the hospital bed, listened to his parents and little sister¡¯s words and looked at their disappointed faces. His heart ached, and he felt tears welling up in his eyes. However, as the pillar of the family, Jiang Feng immediately stood up and closed the door of the ward. At the same time, he raised his head and forcefully held back the tears that were about to spill out of his eyes.


    After closing the door of the ward, Jiang Feng turned around and stroked his little sister¡¯s head. He smiled and said, ¡°Little sis, it¡¯s not your fault.¡±


    Then, he turned around and looked at his parents, who were sitting next to him. He said gently, ¡°Dad, mom, don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s nothing!¡±


    His extremely calm voice made the two of them look up and see the smile on Jiang Feng¡¯s face. He tapped on his phone for a few seconds. Then, he turned the screen over and showed it to them.


    ¡°Bank of China¡±


    ¡°Account Holder: Jiang Feng¡±


    ¡°Balance: 100,000,000¡±


    His parents and little sister were curious as they looked at Jiang Feng¡¯s phone screen. The balance displayed on the screen was an astronomical number! The series of zeros alone shocked the three of them completely!

 Chapter 10

    ¡°Ten, a hundred, a thousand, a million¡­ 100 million!¡±


    His little sister reached out to count the zeroes, her face full of shock.


    ¡°Brother, how come you have so much money?¡±


    Her voice trembled, and she looked puzzled.


    She was not the only one who was shocked. The jaws of the old couple beside her had already dropped open. They had lived their entire lives thinking that they would never have so much money. ¡°Xiao Feng, what¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°How come you have so much money?¡± The two of them looked at Jiang Feng and questioned him hurriedly.


    Their first reaction was shock. They couldn¡¯t understand how Jiang Feng had gotten so much money. Looking at the three of them, who were eagerly looking at him, Jiang Feng smiled slightly. Then, he got up and glanced at the corridor outside the ward to confirm that Yu Jia had left.


    Jiang Feng locked the door behind him to ensure that no one would hear what was happening inside. Only then did he turn around to answer their questions. ¡°I earned all this money yesterday. Our family is rich now. Don¡¯t worry about it!¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled as he answered their questions.


    However, his answer made Yu Xiumin and her husband feel even more worried. They had seen and heard many things in their lives, but they had never heard of an ordinary person earning 100 million overnight!


    ¡°Xiao Feng, tell me honestly, where did this money come from?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you suddenly came up with so much money. What¡­ What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Although the two of them didn¡¯t say it out loud, they were very worried that Jiang Feng had done something illegal to earn the money. As he faced their urgent questions, Jiang Feng opened his mouth to explain.


    ¡°Dad, Mom, don¡¯t let your imagination run wild. This is all real, clean money!


    ¡°I did invest in Bitcoin the other day, but my investment didn¡¯t fail at all, nor did I lose all my assets.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s words shocked the old couple.


    ¡°Then what about that post on your WeChat Moments?¡±


    ¡°It was fake. I just posted it for fun. No such thing happened.


    ¡°Not only did I not lose a single cent, but I even earned 100 million! The investment was very successful!¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled as he told them the whole story.


    However, he hid everything he knew about the system in his heart.


    ¡°I actually won so much money!¡±


    The old couple looked at Jiang Feng in shock, not knowing what to say for a while.


    ¡°But don¡¯t tell anyone for the time being, lest it causes too much trouble.


    ¡°You¡¯ve seen the true colors of these people.


    ¡°The moment we say we have money, they will pounce on us like wolves. When our money is gone, they will kick us while we¡¯re down. They¡¯re all completely unscrupulous!¡±


    Jiang Feng did not forget to warn the old couple after he finished speaking. He did not want them to spill the beans in a moment of happiness. That would definitely cause a lot of trouble. When Jiang Feng saw the smiles on the old couple¡¯s faces, he also felt relieved deep in his heart. He had accidentally caused this drama. However, a group of mean people had then appeared in his WeChat Moments.


    His parents had believed everything he had said. Jiang Feng had expected that, as parents had absolute trust in their children and would believe whatever they were told. As Jiang Feng had seen at that moment, just a few words had made them happy because they had unlimited trust in him. However, his friends had believed everything that had been said online, which was something Jiang Feng had not expected.


    A circle of friends was just a place for everyone to express themselves and entertain each other. All kinds of posts and pictures could be put online, but someone who really knew you would know that there were some things that you wouldn¡¯t be so stupid about.


    Therefore, after seeing something like this, your circle of friends would not immediately think that you deserved to die, but that you were acting crazy. Then, they would call very soon or send messages to ask what was really going on. This was the normal reaction of a true friend. Besides, even if Jiang Feng¡¯s investment had really failed and he had lost all his money, they should definitely have done their best to help their friend!


    Who could run a business and make money from investments all the time? Who had never failed? Friends would never laugh at a person who was brave enough to get rich. Instead, they would help him get back on his feet. Jiang Feng¡¯s former friends, on the other hand, had believed what everyone else had said. They didn¡¯t want to know the truth at all. They believed what they had seen with their own eyes. Then, they had added insult to injury and begun cursing Jiang Feng like crazy.


    They had done this because, deep down, they didn¡¯t really want Jiang Feng to succeed. One could watch the show, but one didn¡¯t have the right to curse. However, they had done some disgusting things and said some very mean words.


    They didn¡¯t even have the basic ability to respect people. One couldn¡¯t even hope that they would help when one was down and out! Their conscience was long gone, and Jiang Feng¡¯s kindness had been forgotten long ago too. Jiang Feng had only had a fake friend circle, but their true colors had already been exposed. Of course, Jiang Feng had already completely cut off these people. Even if the truth was really exposed in the future, he would be able to deal with these people.


    The reason he didn¡¯t let his parents say anything was mainly because he was afraid that those troublesome relatives would pester the old couple. His parents naturally understood this logic when they heard Jiang Feng¡¯s words. They knew their relatives very well after all.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, only our family shall know about this. We will listen to you!¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong looked at the amount of money and felt happy deep in his heart. He then nodded repeatedly after he spoke.


    ¡°I am relieved that you didn¡¯t lose any money. However, you have to use this money sparingly!¡± Yu Xiumin nodded, but she still warned Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Okay, I know what to do. You guys just need to be at ease.


    ¡°Mom, I¡¯ll deposit 10 million yuan in your bank account. You can buy whatever you want with it. Just buy some good stuff for both of you.¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled and put his phone away.


    Then, he turned to his sister. ¡°Xiaoyu, take care of your injuries. When you get better, I¡¯ll take you to Disneyland!¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay. Then I¡¯ll get better as soon as possible!¡±


    Upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words, his younger sister happily agreed.


    ¡°Okay, mom and dad, you guys take care of my younger sister for now. I have to go out and do something.¡±


    ¡°You go ahead. We¡¯re here. It¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    Yu Xiumin waved her hand as she spoke.


    Now that they knew that Jiang Feng was fine, they were relieved. His little sister was fine as well. She just needed to recuperate in peace. Jiang Feng nodded and left the hospital. As he walked out, a thought flashed through Jiang Feng¡¯s mind. The system space was then opened and he saw a golden virtual card floating in front of him.


    ¡®The Super-Prediction Card!¡¯


    When he had obtained this item, Jiang Feng had not studied it seriously. At that moment, he flipped it open and quickly understood how this card functioned.


    Its function was very simple. It could make a prediction regarding any matter and be 100% accurate! While looking at the floating card in the system space, Jiang Feng began to ponder what he should use it to predict next.


    ¡°Ding, dong¡­¡±


    At that moment, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Jiang Feng flipped open the phone and immediately switched to the interface.


    ¡°Which hospital is your sister being treated at?¡±


    The message was from Lin Miaoxue, and it was soon followed by another message.


    ¡°I happen to be free now. If it¡¯s convenient, I¡¯d like to come over and take a look!¡±


    Upon seeing her message, Jiang Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart. A smile naturally appeared on his face!

 Chapter 11

    So many people that he had often hung out with had turned out to be fake. On the contrary, this person, whom he had not seen since graduation, had sincerely lent him the money to save his sister¡¯s life. She had not been afraid that he would waste her tens of thousands of yuan.


    As he thought of this, Jiang Feng¡¯s heart was deeply moved. It was enough to have one or two friends in life who were sincere. Such a friend would lend a helping hand and trust him even when he was down and out. Jiang Feng had thought it through.


    Thus, there was no need to hide the fact that he had been pretending to be bankrupt from her. Since she was willing to meet him this time, Jiang Feng would tell her everything face to face. There was no need to be so suspicious. Jiang Feng would definitely be honest with someone who had been so sincere in return.


    After thinking it through, Jiang Feng replied directly, ¡°Where are you now? I¡¯ll come and pick you up!¡± Jiang Feng didn¡¯t say anything about the hospital. He instead chose to go and pick up Lin Miaoxue directly.


    Not only had she helped him in a time of crisis, but she had even taken the initiative to visit him. He had to show her his gratitude more or less.


    However, despite Jiang Feng¡¯s good intentions, Lin Miaoxue quickly replied, ¡°No need. Tell me which hospital she¡¯s at. I¡¯ll come over myself.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the hospital too. I¡¯ll come and pick you up. Let¡¯s go together.¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at her reply and answered without hesitation.


    Lin Miaoxue could only accept his offer and compromise. Thus, she sent Jiang Feng her location.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be there in a while.¡±


    After Jiang Feng replied, he checked the address that Lin Miaoxue had sent him. That was the CBD area of Shanghai. All the top-listed companies were there, so it was one of the most wealthy places in Shanghai.


    After Jiang Feng confirmed her location, he reached out and hailed a taxi. He was ready to leave immediately. However, while sitting in the car, he looked at his clothes and shook his head in self-mockery.


    It had been a long time since he had seen Lin Miaoxue. Since their graduation, to be exact. If his memory served him, Lin Miaoxue had always been bright and beautiful, and she looked outstanding! He had not changed clothes since yesterday. Besides, he was dressed very casually. It would be a little disrespectful to meet her looking like that. Jiang Feng was currently a millionaire, so he had to pay attention to his clothes. Thus, he quickly asked the driver to drive him home.


    After rushing home from the city orthopedic hospital, Jiang Feng changed into a new set of clothes. Although he wasn¡¯t wearing a famous brand, he looked clean and decent. At least she wouldn¡¯t complain when he met her. After changing, Jiang Feng went downstairs to pick up Lin Miaoxue, feeling at ease.


    ¡°That car is so cool!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, since when does someone drive a Pagani in our neighborhood?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I¡¯m afraid it belongs to a rich man!¡±


    ¡°Why would a rich man live here? People who drive Paganis live in sea-view villas!¡±


    When Jiang Feng walked downstairs, he heard two passersby talking to each other. This made Jiang Feng instantly remember the brand-new, limited-edition Pagani Huayra lmola that he had parked in the garage of the community. As soon as he thought of this, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. Then, he directly changed directions and headed to the underground garage.


    Upon walking into the underground garage, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t even need to look for his car to know where it was. In the depths of the garage, more than a dozen people were gathered around it, taking photos with their cell phones.


    ¡°F*ck, what kind of car is this? Do any of you recognize it? Just looking at it is so cool!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the latest Pagani Huayra lmola. Only 10 have been produced worldwide. I just checked online and it¡¯s selling for 4 million US dollars! That¡¯s more than 20 million yuan!¡±


    ¡°More than 20 million?! I don¡¯t even dare touch it now that you mentioned it. If a bit of paint were to fall off my fingernails, I¡¯d need more than half a year¡¯s worth of my salary to pay for it.¡±


    ¡°My God, there¡¯s such a rich man living in our neighborhood? It sounds a bit ridiculous!¡±


    A bunch of people were discussing, all of them finding this notion extremely novel. A man¡¯s love for luxury cars could definitely overshadow everything else.


    ¡°Hurry up and take a few photos. The owner is not from our neighborhood, so we won¡¯t be able to see it again after he drives away!¡±


    A man next to him carefully touched the front of the car as he spoke quickly. Upon hearing his words, everyone immediately picked up their phones and started taking pictures. At that moment, Jiang Feng¡¯s figure appeared behind them.


    ¡°Brother, make way.¡±


    Jiang Feng reached out with his hand and patted the man taking pictures in front of him.


    The man was stunned. He turned around and looked at Jiang Feng. Then, he smiled and said, ¡°Brother, you want to take pictures too?


    ¡°No problem. You take some first. I¡¯ve already taken dozens of pictures!¡±


    The man took two steps back as he addressed Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng looked calm. He passed through the people who were taking pictures, took the key out of his pocket, and pressed it gently. The Pagani, which had been still, suddenly let out a low roar. Two headlights that looked like the eyes of a ferocious beast lit up immediately, illuminating everything in front of him. The few people taking photos in front of the car quickly moved to the side upon seeing the light. At the same time, everyone on the scene looked around.


    They all wanted to find the owner of the car, but after looking around, they didn¡¯t see anyone nearby. By the time they turned their eyes to the car again, Jiang Feng had already opened the car door and was sitting in the driver¡¯s seat. While sitting in the car, Jiang Feng looked at the dashboard in front of him and lightly stepped on the accelerator twice. Immediately, the Pagani let out a low, beast-like roar!


    As he felt the car¡¯s wild nature, a flash of heat flashed across Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes. Then, under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. Amid the furious roar of the engine, Jiang Feng effortlessly rushed out of the underground garage and sped off into the distance. Meanwhile, the people in the underground garage were still standing on the spot with shocked expressions on their faces.


    ¡°That young man is the owner of the car?¡±


    ¡°Oh my God, where did this rich kid come from, and why would he visit our neighborhood?¡±


    The eyes of the people who had just seen Jiang Feng were filled with shock!


    ¡­


    At the same time, in a building in Shanghai¡¯s CBD area, Lin Miaoxue was spinning in her office in front of a mirror. Her face didn¡¯t show the slightest coldness of a royal woman. Instead, she looked a little nervous.


    ¡°Sister Yao, take a look. What do you think of this suit? Why do I feel that the collar doesn¡¯t look good in the back?¡±


    ¡°It looks pretty good. Why would anything be wrong with this collar?¡±


    Her best friend, Liu Xinyao, stood on the side and looked around carefully.


    ¡°What about this lipstick? Does it match the clothes?


    ¡°Do you want to add more blush? I don¡¯t think my eyeshadow is done yet.¡±


    ¡°Sister Yao, come here quickly. Take a look!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue stood in front of the mirror and looked at her makeup carefully, asking questions the whole time.


    Liu Xinyao, who was standing next to her, couldn¡¯t help but laugh when she saw her nervous look.


    ¡°Xiaoxue, are you going to the hospital to visit a patient, or are you going on a date?¡±


    Liu Xinyao¡¯s words made Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face blush until it was bright red!

 Chapter 12

    While driving the latest Pagani supercar, Jiang Feng became really popular on the streets. He also drove very fast, and the roar the car made along the way attracted the attention of countless people. When such a cool luxury car passed in front of one¡¯s eyes, one would naturally turn around and take a look. But one glance would definitely shock them and make them fall head over heels with it.


    On the streets of Shanghai, luxury cars and supercars could be seen everywhere. It was common to see rich second-generation heirs speeding on the streets. However, this was definitely the first time this particular Pagani had appeared in this big city. Many boys were stunned when they saw Jiang Feng driving over, and their faces were filled with envy.


    ¡°Look, look, look, a Pagani!¡±


    ¡°F*ck, it¡¯s a tycoon again!¡±


    ¡°Since when does someone in Shanghai have such a luxurious car? How come I¡¯ve never seen it before?¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°Oh my God, this car is so cool! I feel like I should drive it to experience it!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it. You¡¯ll never drive such a car in your life.¡±


    ¡­


    ¡°D*mn it! Not only is this guy handsome, but he even drives such a nice car. How are we supposed to live with this?!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s living like the main character, while you and I aren¡¯t even supporting characters. This is too f*cking annoying.¡±


    ¡­


    Whenever Jiang Feng passed by an area, some people were shocked, some sighed, and some felt jealous. However, his expression was very calm. As he felt the car speeding away, Jiang Feng took a deep breath. This feeling made his whole body feel comfortable, even more comfortable than drinking a glass of century-old wine could make him feel. Jiang Feng drove the car, making it roar on the way. He wanted to drive it at top speed!


    ¡­


    Soon, he followed the GPS and arrived at the location provided by Lin Miaoxue. Looking at the building in front of him, Jiang Feng parked the car directly in the temporary parking space by the roadside. Then, he picked up his phone and dialed a number. Lin Miaoxue, who was upstairs, saw the call from Jiang Feng. She hesitated for a moment before she picked up the call.


    ¡°I¡¯m already downstairs,¡± Jiang Feng said directly as soon as the call was picked up.


    ¡°Um¡­ Wait a few minutes for me. I have something urgent to do.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue looked at her half-melted eyeshadow and spoke hurriedly. Liu Xinyao, who was beside her, giggled when she saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s nervous look. Her hands moved faster as well, helping her best friend deal with her beautiful hair.


    Jiang Feng had heard that she still had something urgent to do, so he answered and then hung up the phone. He turned his head and looked through the window and right at the building where Lin Miaoxue was. This was a very famous building in the Shanghai CBD area called the Quantum Building! The people who worked there were definitely elites from all walks of life.


    China¡¯s very famous green space construction group was one of the tenants of this building. Their group took up one-third of a floor, but in a place like Shanghai, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, that was absolutely amazing! And this was only a branch of their group.


    However, Jiang Feng did not care about this group. Instead, he saw an advertisement on the screen of a promotional building next to that building. On the screen was the recently hyped World Cup match! The Chinese soccer team would be playing against the Syrian soccer team.


    This was the first time in many years that China had entered the World Cup, and countless people had high hopes for the result. The next stage was the top 12, and the experts on the screen were explaining that the match was going to take place tomorrow.


    ¡°The performance of our national soccer team so far, as well as the fact that we broke through the group stage, shows our strength!¡±


    ¡°And everyone knows that tomorrow¡¯s match is against Syria, a country that has been in chaos all year round. Their soccer training has been abandoned for many years.¡±


    ¡°Their team was formed at the last minute and may have been affected by the war. Both their strength and condition show that they are very weak. They have already lost three times in a row!¡±


    ¡°If they lose another match tomorrow, they will be directly eliminated. This is a team with a low morale and lack of training, but our national soccer team¡¯s chances of winning cannot be 100%, right? This is a little too arrogant, but I believe that our chances will definitely be more than 80%!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, Kang Le is still speaking too conservatively. In my opinion, they will definitely win tomorrow¡¯s match!¡±


    ¡°The national soccer team¡¯s training in the past few years and their performance in the group stage make the result obvious. A team like Syria will definitely experience a crushing defeat!¡±


    The two commentators spoke one after another. Every word revealed the strength of the national soccer team of China, as well as their confidence about winning. In the interviews that followed, countless fans were also very optimistic about the national soccer team. Everyone felt that their team would definitely win the game tomorrow! Some people even said that the national soccer team would crush the other team with a score of 10:0!


    Jiang Feng looked at the commentary of the experts and the emotions of the people and felt somewhat puzzled. Although he did not play soccer, he still watched soccer matches. In his opinion, the national soccer team had never fought for anything. This time, they had been able to advance thanks to luck, as they had played against the most popular teams in the world. But according to these experts, the national soccer team seemed to be quite powerful this time!


    Although the Syrian national soccer team was not top-notch, it was definitely not trash. However, they had been involved in war over the years, so they had not been paying attention to sports. It was unexpected that, in just a few years, they would forget about the glory of this strong team.


    Jiang Feng shook his head and looked away. But just as he turned his head, seeing the soccer betting shop on the ground floor of the Quantum Building made his eyes light up. Jiang Feng naturally understood the soccer betting process. As he looked at this soccer betting shop, he gradually had some thoughts. Then, the Super-Prediction Card appeared in front of his eyes! Upon seeing the golden card, Jiang Feng got out of the car and walked straight to the shop in front of him!

 Chapter 13

    Jiang Feng got out of the car and walked straight to the betting shop on the ground floor of the Quantum Building. Meanwhile, people were coming and going on the bustling street. Jiang Feng walked into the shop and saw many people standing inside, most of them young people, and buying lottery tickets.


    The owner of the shop was full of smiles. He was very happy that the Chinese national soccer team had been able to enter the World Cup this time. After all, this development had brought him a lot of revenue.


    ¡°Boss, give me ten winning lottery tickets for the Chinese national soccer team!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you want to guess the score, young man?¡±


    ¡°No, no, no. Who could guess the score this time? 10-0, 8-1. The range is too wide. It¡¯s not like the usual 1-1,1-2 matches, when it¡¯s easier to guess.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s true. This time, we¡¯ll definitely crush them. Who knows, we might even create world history!¡±


    As a man spoke, the owner of the shop was taking bets and chatting loudly.


    The customers in the shop were also in high spirits. ¡°Haha, the national team will definitely crush the Syrian soccer team!¡±


    ¡°Of course. I¡¯ve seen all these players. Some of them are people who were pulled out of the crowd temporarily. They don¡¯t even know how to kick a ball!¡±


    ¡°The whole country of Syria depends on Mohammed alone, but he¡¯s already old. He¡¯s been a veteran for many years, and he needs to retire.¡±


    ¡°How can they win with only one amazing player? Our team is full of powerful players. Let¡¯s crush them!¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, if Syria wins tomorrow, I¡¯ll run around Shanghai Stadium!¡±


    ¡°Boss, give me 10 lottery tickets for the national soccer game, and two more for an 8-1 game score!¡±


    ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡°Tomorrow, the national soccer team will definitely win! Won¡¯t it be easy to beat Syria?¡±


    When someone mentioned this topic in the shop, the customers¡¯ enthusiasm instantly soared. Everyone was unbelievably happy. Many young people were extremely confident that the national soccer team would win tomorrow, and it would be a crushing victory! The owner of the shop was also extremely excited. He kept talking, sounding very thrilled. After the few people in front of him placed their bets, Jiang Feng finally reached the front of the line.


    ¡°Little brother, how many wagers do you want to place? Do you want to guess the score or something?


    ¡°The odds of guessing the score are even higher. The highest odds are a hundred times higher than normal!¡± the owner told Jiang Feng with a face full of enthusiasm.


    Jiang Feng raised his head and looked at the small TV in front of the counter. It showed the current lineup for the top 12 matches tomorrow. The betting odds for each winning match were 1:1.25, but the betting odds for the winning match against Syria were 1:3. Of course, they could also guess the score would be 1:1,1:2, 2:1, and so on. The betting odds for each score were also different.


    Jiang Feng glanced around, but he did not carefully check the betting odds for each score. A thought flashed through his mind, and the golden card immediately appeared in front of him. After Jiang Feng used it, it directly turned into specks of fluorescent light and dissipated.


    [Ding! The Super-Prediction Card has been used successfully. The national soccer team will score 1:5 against the Syrian team. The national soccer team will suffer a crushing defeat!]


    Upon hearing the voice in his mind, Jiang Feng could not help but laugh in his heart. This was completely different from the chaotic massacre everyone was talking about. It was a 10:0 crushing defeat.


    However, when he saw the result, Jiang Feng¡¯s expression remained calm. After all, this was the true level of the national soccer team that he had seen. Now that he knew the result, Jiang Feng looked up at the odds. The national soccer team would lose 1:5 to Syria. This was a situation no one had expected. Plus, the odds were 100 times higher!


    Jiang Feng looked again. It turned out that the odds of 1:4 were 100 times higher too. It seemed that everyone, including all the organizations and evaluators, had high hopes for the national soccer team this time! In their opinion, the national soccer team would never lose. On the contrary, the odds of 3:1 were lower!


    ¡°Boss, place a one-million bid for me!¡± Jiang Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the owner of the shop in front of him.


    Upon hearing this, the owner was shocked at first. Then, he was overjoyed and he immediately began to humor him. ¡°Handsome, a one-million-yuan bet, huh? What do you think? Will you bet on the national soccer team¡¯s victory?¡±


    The people who had bought lottery tickets were about to leave, but when they heard Jiang Feng¡¯s words, they all stopped in their tracks. Everyone¡¯s eyes were focused on him. Most of them had only bet a few tens of dollars, at most a few thousand or tens of thousands of dollars. Naturally, Jiang Feng¡¯s one-million-yuan bid shocked everyone.


    ¡°Who is he? I don¡¯t think this handsome guy is from one of the biggest families in Shanghai.¡±


    ¡°Yeah, this is too extravagant. He just spent a million yuan!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s see what this rich second-generation guy will bet on. A million yuan is a ruthless bet!¡±


    Jiang Feng shook his head when he heard the shop owner¡¯s words.


    ¡°I¡¯ll bet on the defeat of the national soccer team. I¡¯ll bet one million on the score being 1:5!¡± Jiang Feng said calmly to the shop owner.


    The reason he was only betting one million was to keep a low profile. He didn¡¯t want to make a big deal out of it. If he were to bet millions or tens of millions on such an abnormal score, he would definitely attract the attention of the Zhuang Family and make people investigate him, which would cause a lot of trouble. As for betting tens of millions or even billions of dollars, it was needless to say why he wasn¡¯t. The result of the match would probably be the exact opposite, and he would lose everything!


    Therefore, Jiang Feng only took out one million for the bet. Keeping a low profile would not cause him any trouble. Besides, he knew very well that with these odds, one million would become one hundred million! One hundred million was enough! Jiang Feng wasn¡¯t that greedy. Earning money gradually was the right way to make it last.


    But when the shop owner heard Jiang Feng¡¯s words, he was dumbfounded. ¡°Handsome, the national soccer team will definitely win this time. Do you want to think about it again?¡±


    Although the shop owner still respected Jiang Feng very much, in his heart, he already thought that Jiang Feng was a lunatic. Gambling on this almost impossible event was akin to throwing money into the water! The reason he warned Jiang Feng was because he was afraid that Jiang Feng would lose money tomorrow and go there to cause trouble.


    ¡°He¡¯s betting a million yuan on that result? Are rich kids nowadays throwing money away?¡±


    ¡°Is this a gift to the shop? I really don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s really a fool. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go. He¡¯ll come back crying tomorrow!¡±


    The customers in the shop whispered as they watched. The way they looked at Jiang Feng had changed, and they now looked as if they were looking at a fool.


    ¡°It¡¯s my decision. You can place the bet!¡± Jiang Feng looked at the shop owner and directly scanned the code to transfer the money.


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll do it right away.¡± Seeing that Jiang Feng insisted, the shop owner didn¡¯t stop him and directly placed the bet.


    After taking the lottery ticket, Jiang Feng glanced at it and confirmed that there was no problem, then turned around and left. The shop owner and the other customers pointed at his back as he walked away, but Jiang Feng didn¡¯t care what they said. Everything would be revealed by the end of the match tomorrow!


    ¡­


    After walking out of the betting shop, Jiang Feng walked toward his car. Before he reached the roadside, he heard a sound coming from his car from afar. Jiang Feng looked over and saw that his car was already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.


    However, among the crowd, Jiang Feng noticed a man touching the roof of the car and broadcasting on his phone.


    ¡°Brothers, we¡¯re here in the Shanghai CBD area.


    ¡°I¡¯ll park the car here and then take everyone to the building to take a look!¡±


    As the man spoke, he deliberately went around to the front of the car to get a panoramic view! While he looked at this guy, the corners of Jiang Feng¡¯s mouth formed a hint of a smile.

 Chapter 14

    The man pretended to be indifferent as he spoke, but he was very experienced in filming. He was filming Jiang Feng¡¯s entire car, focusing on the luxurious Pagani logo. His live broadcast had already exploded at that moment.


    ¡°Oh my God, his car is awesome! It¡¯s this year¡¯s new Pagani Supercar! There are only 10 of them worldwide!¡±


    ¡°I just checked and our country seems to only have one. Is he that awesome?¡±


    ¡°This thing sells for more than 20,000,000 yuan, but if you don¡¯t have any power or influence, you can¡¯t even buy it for 50,000,000 yuan!¡±


    ¡°Limited-edition cars are exclusive. It¡¯s a symbol of status that¡¯s definitely not measured by money!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s too showy, my brother. This is really like a knife poking at a cow¡¯s buttocks. This experience has really opened my eyes.¡±


    Despite the craziness in the live broadcast room, the man was still calm.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a car. Everyone who knows my family knows that our garage is full of cars!


    ¡°The Pagani¡¯s driving is indeed great. I also like this car very much!¡±


    As he said this, he was already feeling ecstatic in his heart. In just a few minutes, he had received a reward of more than 1,000 yuan, which was equivalent to the amount he usually received in two or three days.


    ¡°Hey, handsome, can you give me a ride?¡±


    While he was broadcasting, a girl in a cool outfit walked out of the crowd and took the initiative to ask for a ride. This made the man even more excited, and he didn¡¯t want to leave the car in front of him.


    ¡­


    While he was talking about his car, Jiang Feng walked over.


    ¡°Get out of the way. I¡¯m going to drive,¡± Jiang Feng said bluntly as he stood behind him. He didn¡¯t have a good impression of internet celebrities who relied on acting cool to earn money.


    ¡°What? That¡¯s my car. Why are you joining in the fun?¡± The man turned around and looked at Jiang Feng. Not only did he not give in, but he even questioned Jiang Feng.


    The scene attracted the attention of the surrounding onlookers, and there now seemed to be spectators everywhere.


    ¡°Get out of the way!¡±


    Looking at the calm man, Jiang Feng waved the key in his hand in front of him.


    ¡°Brother, I have no reason to give up my car for you.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you mistook this car for your car? Why don¡¯t you keep looking for it?¡±


    The man had naturally recognized the key in Jiang Feng¡¯s hand, but he still acted calmly and even tried to trick Jiang Feng into leaving. He wanted to broadcast a little longer so that he could make the most of it!


    However, how could this little trick fool Jiang Feng? He looked at the man in front of him with a mocking smile. Then, he pressed the key. A second later, the two bright headlights turned on, and the car let out a low beast-like roar!


    The two doors opened at the same time, shocking everyone present. The sound of the luxury car¡¯s engine and its cool appearance attracted many people, who immediately started to take photos. The man broadcasting had been slapped in the face by Jiang Feng¡¯s actions.


    ¡°You need to grow up. Stop using your family!¡±


    Jiang Feng walked forward and brushed past the man as he spoke casually.


    His voice was not loud, but it made the netizens in the man¡¯s live broadcast room explode!


    ¡°F*CK, F*CK, F*CK! This is the real owner of the car!¡±


    ¡°Oh my God, so the broadcast host was bluffing to swindle us! F*ck you, refund our money!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s so handsome! I am in love!¡±


    ¡°To be fair, he really is handsome. He¡¯s both handsome and rich. My ideal type!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m already heading to the Quantum Building by taxi. I hope he doesn¡¯t leave. Sob, sob, please let me meet him!¡±


    Not only was the live broadcast room in shock, but the audience was also shocked by Jiang Feng¡¯s words. They had all heard what Jiang Feng had just said and seen him appear. A big number of people had also taken pictures of Jiang Feng as he got into the car.


    ¡°Hurry up and get lost, you f*cking liar!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you were still showing off even though the car is not yours. To think that I even added to your prestige! Hurry up and get lost!¡±


    ¡°How can there be such a person in Shanghai? This must be the work of a foreigner. How shameless.¡±


    Many people on the scene also cursed the man angrily.


    He had been exposed on the spot by Jiang Feng, and as many people used their phones to record him, his face instantly turned red. At the speed of light, the man took his coat off and covered his face. Then, he fled like a rabbit.


    After Jiang Feng got in the car, he directly closed the car door. He got in his seat and placed the lottery ticket on the dashboard. Then, he waited patiently for Lin Miaoxue.


    Outside the car, more and more people were watching him. Many people didn¡¯t know what was going on. They had just seen many people running over. But when they saw a luxury car that they had never seen before, they all stopped to take photos. The people next to them even told the newcomers what had just happened, which made everyone even more curious. Who was the owner of the car?


    ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Miaoxue finally walked out of her office in the Quantum Building. She was wearing a white floral dress, her hair was naturally draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing light makeup. She looked like a beauty appearing on camera without makeup.


    The colleagues working for the same company were all stunned when they saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s outfit. They had never seen Lin Miaoxue like this before. Although her face was cold, the pure sweetness that she exuded was shocking! This was a look that she had never tried before. Many male colleagues were stunned on the spot, while her female colleagues played with their hair, feeling a little inferior.


    Liu Xinyao followed Lin Miaoxue with a smile on her face. She was very satisfied with the makeup that she had done for Lin Miaoxue today. This was what a girl should look like! Why was she so cold every day? Girls should be gentle and elegant.


    ¡°Stop laughing!¡± Lin Miaoxue said angrily in the elevator when she saw that Liu Xinyao couldn¡¯t stop laughing.


    ¡°I¡¯m laughing because you¡¯re beautiful. It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want me to talk about Jiang Feng, but don¡¯t tell me not to laugh.¡±


    Liu Xinyao covered her mouth and answered while laughing.


    ¡°You have so many assets!¡±


    As Lin Miaoxue said this, the elevator reached the ground floor of the building. As soon as they walked out of the building, they saw a group of people gathered by the roadside not far away, taking photos of something. The people who walked out of the building also hurried to the surrounding area.


    ¡°Hey, Brother Liu, what¡¯s going on over there? Why are there so many people around?¡± Liu Xinyao stood at the entrance of the building and stopped a man who was walking toward the building.


    ¡°Sister Yao!


    ¡°There¡¯s a Pagani luxury car over there. It¡¯s the latest model of this year. There are only ten of them in the world, and it¡¯s the only one in our country!


    ¡°Everyone has gone to take a look and take a photo. I¡¯m going to join in the fun! Haha¡­¡±


    Brother Liu turned around and explained everything to Liu Xinyao. After saying all that, he smiled and waved his hand before running toward the crowd.


    Upon hearing that, Liu Xinyao glanced at the crowd in the distance, her eyes revealing her strong curiosity. ¡°Let¡¯s go take a look. This kind of car is hard to come by. If we miss this chance, we won¡¯t have the chance to see it again,¡± Liu Xinyao said, turning around and taking Lin Miaoxue¡¯s arm.


    ¡°Forget it. Jiang Feng has been waiting for me downstairs for a long time.¡± Lin Miaoxue frowned and quickly refused.


    ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go. Just humor me for once!¡± When Lin Miaoxue refused, Liu Xinyao immediately activated her coquettish charm.


    ¡°Maybe Jiang Feng is there too. Come on, let¡¯s go and have a look.¡± As Liu Xinyao said this, she pulled Lin Miaoxue toward the crowd.


    Lin Miaoxue, who had originally wanted to look for Jiang Feng immediately, could only be dragged along. What she didn¡¯t know was that Jiang Feng was waiting for her in the crowd at that moment!

 Chapter 15

    Liu Xinyao had always been interested in luxury cars. However, Lin Miaoxue was not. Luxury cars? What luxury cars? In her eyes, they were just a means of transportation. They just looked a little cool and slick.


    Besides, her family background had always been good, so she had seen countless luxury cars. As for the rich second-generation kids who drove luxury cars to flirt with girls, she had seen plenty of them. Therefore, she had always felt that the kids who drove luxury cars were too pretentious. It wasn¡¯t money they had earned based on their own ability, yet they were still acting so high-profile. They were simply taking their father¡¯s money, slapping his face, and then asking him to clean up the mess.


    Most rich second-generation people only drove such flashy cars to attract girls¡¯ attention. They deceived those girls into having sex with them and then ruthlessly abandoned them. Previously, her family had introduced her to a few second-generation sons of rich people, and as soon as Lin Miaoxue had met them, she had known that they weren¡¯t good people.


    As the saying goes, lust erodes one¡¯s bones! The bone marrow of those rich second-generation young masters, who had a flourishing yin and a declining yang, had been scraped clean long ago. When she met these kinds of people, she decisively rejected them all. Because of this, she had quarreled with her family several times. Therefore, Lin Miaoxue did not have a favorable impression of pretentious second-generation rich people.


    ¡°Sister Yao, stop looking. It¡¯s most likely some rich second-generation guy who¡¯s trying to seduce girls again.¡± Lin Miaoxue warned Liu Xinyao, who was in high spirits, as she kept pulling her away.


    ¡°Come on, we¡¯re just looking at the car. Besides, aren¡¯t all rich men like this?


    ¡°Is there even a man who doesn¡¯t want to hook up with girls?¡± Liu Xinyao retorted as she walked. A large portion of the successful men in Shanghai were playboys who indulged in women. Therefore, she didn¡¯t have a good impression of these people, just like Lin Miaoxue, but that didn¡¯t affect her impression of luxury cars. Besides, that was the latest limited-edition Pagani supercar, so she had never seen it before!


    ¡°Jiang Feng is not such a person. He is a very simple man.


    ¡°He used to be so outstanding in school. He was always the top student in the entire department. Didn¡¯t he do well?¡± Lin Miaoxue immediately retorted.


    Although she admitted that many rich second-generation children were not good people, she could not reject all men. In her eyes, Jiang Feng was a person with both good grades and a good character. Back in school, he had been handsome and good at his studies. She had heard girls talk about Jiang Feng more than once. At the time, some people had tried to approach him. Beautiful girls had tried to seduce Jiang Feng, but they had all failed without exception.


    If Jiang Feng was addicted to women, given his looks, girls would fight over him. But Jiang Feng wasn¡¯t. He had his own bottom line and principles. He wasn¡¯t like other guys, who flirted with other girls every day in college. They all had four partners a year, and within a month of meeting them, they were already spending the night in cheap hotels outside campus. He knew all about propriety, justice, and integrity and had never done such a thing. Therefore, she had always had a good impression of Jiang Feng. Sometimes, she would lie in bed at night and think of him.


    ¡°Jiang Feng is indeed simple, but that was before he went out into the world. Now that he did and encountered so many temptations, how can he still be so calm?


    ¡°If you gave him a lot of money, who knows what he would be like?


    ¡°You, you just don¡¯t get it. I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re thinking,¡± Liu Xinyao retorted disapprovingly. In her opinion, only when he got rich would she be able to see what he was like. Other people said that a man would turn bad when he got rich. Anyway, the people and circumstances around him made her believe most of it.


    Just as she finished saying this, the way she looked at the crowd suddenly changed. Upon seeing the familiar figure among the spectators, she felt a little incredulous.


    ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ . . ¡­


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng had been sitting in the car waiting, looking at the many people around the window and feeling incomparably depressed. There was a sea of people, and he felt just like a black mass surrounded by water as he looked out at them all. He thought that Lin Miaoxue wouldn¡¯t be able to find him when she came down and he realized how bored he was. Jiang Feng got out of the car at once.


    When he opened the car door, the onlookers moved aside. They thought that Jiang Feng was going out and they didn¡¯t dare block the way of such a noble young man. The moment Jiang Feng opened the door, they inadvertently glanced at him. They then saw Liu Xinyao and Lin Miaoxue walking toward them from afar.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s attention was not on the luxury car. She had been looking around, trying to find Jiang Feng, but Liu Xinyao bumped into Jiang Feng and looked at him in surprise. Jiang Feng got out of the car and closed the door. He then smiled at Liu Xinyao and nodded. Liu Xinyao was stunned when she saw him.


    ¡°Are my eyes playing tricks on me? What is happening?¡± Liu Xinyao¡¯s heart was filled with doubt. Was that Jiang Feng who had just gotten out of the driver¡¯s seat of a luxury car? She was totally flabbergasted!


    ¡­


    Her best friend was suddenly motionless, so Lin Miaoxue looked over. When she glanced at Liu Xinyao, who was staring in front of her with a dumbfounded expression, a trace of doubt appeared on her pretty face. Then, she followed her gaze and looked forward.


    She saw Jiang Feng walking toward her with his head held high and his chest puffed out a few dozen meters in front of him. Behind him was the extremely cool Pagani supercar. The gazes of the surrounding onlookers also fell on Jiang Feng, and everyone¡¯s eyes were filled with incomparable admiration!


    Upon seeing this, Lin Miaoxue was also extremely dumbfounded. The confident smile on Jiang Feng¡¯s face made her heart suddenly tighten. The two of them stood rooted to the ground, watching Jiang Feng walk toward them step by step. Lin Miaoxue, who was slightly shocked, looked at Jiang Feng, who was just inches away from her, and asked doubtfully, ¡°This car¡­ is yours?¡±

 Chapter 16

    The two of them stood there, facing each other. As he looked at Lin Miaoxue, Jiang Feng was quite amazed. Today, she was wearing a floral dress, and her long hair fell over her shoulders. She had a standard oval face and a pair of big eyes that were looking at Jiang Feng gently. Her fair skin was as mesmerizing as ice and jade, and her peerless beauty made people¡¯s hearts race with just a glance. Her slender figure, full curves, and delicate waist were just as flawless. She was simply perfect!


    By looking at the stunned boys around her, one could tell just how outstanding her looks were. As he looked at her, Jiang Feng¡¯s heart naturally felt a little moved. This feeling was similar to when the two of them had first met four years ago.


    At the time, Jiang Feng had looked at Lin Miaoxue and felt moved for the first time in his life. It wouldn¡¯t be an exaggeration to say that Jiang Feng had met a goddess. However, he had been just a nameless kid at the time, so that feeling had been instantly extinguished in his heart!


    Four years later, when they met again after a few months of separation, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t help being moved. After all, Lin Miaoxue was really outstanding. She was just too beautiful! At this moment, he could already feel temptation.


    Lin Miaoxue, who was standing opposite him, looked at Jiang Feng, who was staring at her in a daze, and quickly dodged his gaze. She was a little shy deep down, but she tried hard not to show it. She had meticulously prepared and dressed today just for this moment. She wanted Jiang Feng to see that she wasn¡¯t just an ice-cold goddess. She was also a gentle, sweet girl! Now, it seemed that her wish had come true. After looking at her for a few seconds, Jiang Feng noticed that he was a little absent-minded, so he quickly averted his gaze.


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Jiang Feng calmed his heart and nodded in response to Lin Miaoxue. He had already decided to tell her the truth, so there was no need to hide such a thing.


    ¡°This car is pretty cool.¡± As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Lin Miaoxue hurriedly raised her head and replied with a smile. She was a little curious. After all, hadn¡¯t Jiang Feng said that he had just gone bankrupt? Then how could he have such a luxury car? But there were too many people there, and she knew that Jiang Feng must have his reasons. If he wanted to say something, he would say it later, so she didn¡¯t ask any more questions.


    However, Liu Xinyao, who was beside him, was completely shocked at the moment. She looked at Jiang Feng, her eyes filled with confusion. She had just seen Jiang Feng¡¯s post about being bankrupt this morning, so why was he driving a luxury car in the afternoon? Wasn¡¯t he bankrupt? How could he still have money? Her heart was filled with doubts, and she couldn¡¯t help wanting to ask. However, when she looked up and saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s gaze, the words that had been about to come out of her mouth were immediately swallowed back.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, long time no see.¡± Liu Xinyao suppressed her doubts and smiled as she greeted Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Long time no see. I didn¡¯t expect the two of you to work together after graduation.¡± Jiang Feng nodded in response. He and Liu Xinyao had been university classmates, so they naturally knew each other.


    The person who was the closest to Lin Miaoxue was Liu Xinyao. One could say they were inseparable sisters, as the two of them had been good friends for a long time. They had also gone to university together. Back in school, Liu Xinyao had always come up with excuses to ask him all kinds of questions. Whenever she had nothing to do, she would beat around the bush and pry to gauge his intelligence and situation.


    In the past, he had not realized, but he suddenly understood a lot. However, these things had happened a long time ago. Time had passed, and people¡¯s hearts had changed. Jiang Feng didn¡¯t know whether the person in front of him was the same as before.


    Lin Miaoxue saw that Liu Xinyao kept her mouth shut and didn¡¯t cause any trouble. She turned her head to look at Jiang Feng and said, ¡°I was busy with some urgent matters just now. Sorry to keep you waiting.¡±


    ¡°Then let¡¯s go to the hospital to see your sister now,¡± Lin Miaoxue said directly without any hesitation.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Jiang Feng nodded and took the lead, walking back to the car. Lin Miaoxue winked at Liu Xinyao and followed Jiang Feng. The two of them walked together, heading straight to the car. Liu Xinyao stood in place, watching them leave without following them.


    ¡­


    As the two of them turned around, the surrounding crowd automatically made way for them. Everyone looked at the tall man and the woman with incomparable envy.


    ¡°What a beautiful couple!¡±


    ¡°The man is so handsome, and the woman is so beautiful. It¡¯s simply too much!¡±


    ¡°I admit that I¡¯m jealous. I might cry myself to death. I¡¯ve never witnessed such love before.¡±


    ¡°Son, sob, sob. They are a perfect combination of tall, rich, handsome, and beautiful. The two of them look really good together. They¡¯re a match made in heaven!¡±


    ¡°I, Feng Xin, haven¡¯t loved anyone for many years, but I have to admit that I¡¯m a little envious today!¡±


    ¡°This couple is too beautiful. I¡¯ll take a picture of them for my collection!¡±


    ¡°Sigh, there¡¯s one less handsome man who could belong to me. I¡¯m so envious of this beauty.¡±


    ¡°If I was able to date such a fairy, I wouldn¡¯t have any regrets in life.¡±


    The crowd kept talking. Many people were whispering to the people around them as they sighed and discussed this. They were really shocked by the looks of Jiang Feng and Lin Miaoxue. The combination of a handsome man and a beautiful woman was always fascinating. Even if there was nothing between them, it would always make people think of love.


    Liu Xinyao watched the two of them walk to the front of the car. Jiang Feng held onto the car door like a gentleman and let Lin Miaoxue sit in the passenger seat. In an instant, she felt that Jiang Feng was different, and so was her best friend. She inexplicably felt that they were really a good match!


    ¡°This seemed like an ordinary day, but I think something amazing just happened!¡± As Liu Xinyao muttered, Jiang Feng got in the car and closed the door.

 Chapter 17

    In the car, Jiang Feng fastened his seatbelt and started the engine. As the engine roared to life, he carried this girl, who was a goddess in the hearts of countless men, to the hospital. In the center of Shanghai, traffic was sort of bad. Jiang Feng drove very slowly and followed the traffic regulations. His expression was calm, and from time to time, he would turn his head to look at Lin Miaoxue in the passenger seat.


    It had been more than half a year since they had graduated. Besides, after graduation, the two of them had lost contact. In the past six months, they had not exchanged a single word, not even to discuss a fight between common acquaintances.


    While looking at Lin Miaoxue, who was sitting beside him, Jiang Feng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. It had only been half a year, so he hadn¡¯t expected Lin Miaoxue to be so different. Even though she had become even more beautiful, her style wasn¡¯t as icy as before. Just this floral dress was enough to prove it.


    Jiang Feng thought that Lin Miaoxue had changed style in the past half a year. But little did he know that Lin Miaoxue had gotten ready especially for him today. If she hadn¡¯t come out to meet Jiang Feng, Lin Miaoxue wouldn¡¯t have dressed so elegantly. At least, in the company, she still had to be cold and aloof. After all, she wasn¡¯t an insignificant employee. As a capable person, she had quickly risen to the management level within half a year after graduation.


    Now, there were more than a dozen employees under her in the company. Compared to people her age, she was really successful and outstanding! However, Jiang Feng knew nothing about it. Of course, he wanted to slowly understand what had changed, but he didn¡¯t know how to speak up.


    Meanwhile, Lin Miaoxue, who was sitting in the car, couldn¡¯t help but feel a little nervous. Although she looked very calm on the surface, she was shy and anxious on the inside. She had never sat so close to Jiang Feng in an enclosed environment. Maybe once, a year ago, when there had been no one else in the classroom. As she looked at Jiang Feng, who was driving with a calm and confident expression, Lin Miaoxue felt that he had changed a lot. He was completely different from the shy scholar she had known before.


    Jiang Feng was now confident and radiant. He also looked more mature, as if he had grown up overnight. She was now full of doubts about him, especially since he had driven a luxury car to pick her up today. She was a little confused. That morning, he had posted news of his bankruptcy on his WeChat Moments, which had caused countless people in the group to show how jealous of him they had been. Those jealous people had started cursing him like crazy. But in the afternoon, he had driven a luxury car to pick her up. And from the looks of it, he really didn¡¯t seem like someone who had just lost ten million dollars in investments. The confident and indifferent smile on his face didn¡¯t make it look like he had lost 10 million yuan either. Instead, he looked like he had just made money.


    She had countless thoughts in her mind, and Jiang Feng was right in front of her, which only filled her with more curiosity. She wanted to understand him, but she didn¡¯t know how to ask him about this. The two of them just sat in the car and drove to the hospital without saying a word. Both of them had their own secret thoughts and wanted to say a lot to each other, but for the time being, they didn¡¯t know how to speak up.


    ¡­


    As Jiang Feng was driving silently. Lin Miaoxue, whose mind was filled with questions, inadvertently saw the lottery ticket that Jiang Feng had placed in front of the driver¡¯s seat. With a hint of curiosity, she reached out and picked up the lottery ticket. Although she was not a fan of gambling, thanks to the guidance of Liu Xinyao, she still understood how it worked. That afternoon, after the two of them had drunk coffee, Liu Xinyao had taken her to the betting shop next door and bought a lottery ticket.


    After taking a careful look at the lottery ticket Jiang Feng had bought, Lin Miaoxue immediately recognized it. This was the same one Liu Xinyao had bought for the national football match tomorrow. She looked at Jiang Feng¡¯s bet and the odds on it. She then took one last look at the amount of the bet and frowned. It was a total of one million, which surprised her a little. After all, she knew Jiang Feng¡¯s family situation very well. One million might not mean much to her family, but it was extremely important to Jiang Feng.


    But what really made her frown was Jiang Feng¡¯s bet. He had bet that the national football team¡¯s match against Syria would end with a crushing 1-5 score! Even she, a football idiot, had more or less learned some information today. It was almost impossible for such a score to occur! Countless people had guessed that the national football team would not lose. Everyone believed that their team would win this game without letting the other team score at all, but Jiang Feng¡¯s influence made her feel extremely puzzled. She turned her head to look at him, feeling rather lost. Jiang Feng naturally saw Lin Miaoxue looking at the lottery ticket.


    At that moment, the words that he had been preparing in his heart were ready to be spoken. Just as Lin Miaoxue was about to ask him why he had bought this lottery ticket, Jiang Feng turned his head to look at her and spoke first.


    ¡°I just casually made that post on my WeChat Moments. I was trying to be funny.


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry I fooled you. Actually¡­ I¡¯m not broke at all!¡±

 Chapter 18

    As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s expression became a little cold. She was a little unhappy, even a bit angry. Jiang Feng looked at her expression and realized that she was cross.


    He quickly explained. ¡°Please don¡¯t misunderstand. I didn¡¯t mean to play a prank on you.¡±


    But what he didn¡¯t know was that Lin Miaoxue didn¡¯t care about what he had said at the moment. She wasn¡¯t angry because of Jiang Feng¡¯s WeChat Moments. It was because Jiang Feng had actually spent a million dollars on an almost ridiculous bet! She really didn¡¯t understand where Jiang Feng got such confidence. Lin Miaoxue even suspected that she had misjudged him.


    He was completely different from the Jiang Feng she used to know. In the past, Jiang Feng used to work part-time to earn money during the holidays, and the money had been spent on his studies and housing. He had never spent money recklessly to buy any unnecessary luxury goods. It was precisely because of his character that he was more charming than the students who used to wear famous brands but had no substance. This was also the reason many students had been jealous of Jiang Feng.


    Their families had money, so they could eat good food, get nice clothes, and spend the rest of their money on anything they liked. They were also generous with their money, even more so than Jiang Feng. However, although Jiang Feng was wearing ordinary clothes and sitting there quietly, he was still more attractive than them! This made them extremely jealous, but there was nothing they could do about it.


    Lin Miaoxue had also admired Jiang Feng¡¯s unworldly attitude. He used to be self-sufficient and thrifty. However, he had actually spent a million dollars on a bet now. Forget about the fact that he wouldn¡¯t hit the jackpot. Just the amount alone was enough to shock her. Could he have just gotten rich and begun squandering his money? Lin Miaoxue really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. She opened her mouth and said what she wanted to with a cold expression.


    ¡°I¡¯m not talking about your WeChat Moments, but about this lottery ticket!


    ¡°How could you spend a million dollars on a result with such bad odds that it¡¯s practically impossible to win?


    ¡°Your house was just demolished, so you should have gotten ten million. You just spent a million just like that. Isn¡¯t that a little¡­¡±


    Lin Miaoxue stopped mid-sentence. She was aware of her limits, so as long as Jiang Feng understood what she meant, she didn¡¯t have to continue.


    Seeing that Lin Miaoxue was a little angry and had begun lecturing him again, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t help but laugh. He remembered that back when Lin Miaoxue had been the class monitor in school, she used to do the same thing. However, her expression turned even uglier when he laughed.


    Jiang Feng quickly said, ¡°Things aren¡¯t as serious as you think. I did indeed do what my friends posted about. I invested in Bitcoin.


    ¡°I used my family¡¯s demolition fund and earned 100 million in one night!


    ¡°I¡¯m not taking advantage of my good luck by betting a million now. I just used a small amount of money to try this out.¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled as he addressed Lin Miaoxue¡¯s concerns.


    ¡°You made 100 million?!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue couldn¡¯t help being a little shocked when she heard Jiang Feng¡¯s words. She used to be in the same class as Jiang Feng, so she had naturally studied finance as well. Although she hadn¡¯t been as good of a student as Jiang Feng, she had definitely not been bad either. She had been one of the top students in the department! Even though she didn¡¯t invest tens of millions of yuan in her line of work, she had invested millions of yuan several times!


    She knew very well how difficult it was to invest and how big the stakes were. Earning five million yuan in a short period of time with 50% profit was already very impressive. Of course, it wasn¡¯t as if this had never happened before. It was just that it was very rare. As for Jiang Feng¡¯s ability to earn 100 million with 1,000% profit overnight, it could be considered rare too! Only something like Bitcoin, whose value had increased thousands of times in just a few years, could achieve it. Jiang Feng¡¯s financial management had shocked her just as much. Indeed, a top student was always a top student. His understanding of finance was not something that ordinary people could understand.


    ¡°Yes, if it weren¡¯t for my good luck, I wouldn¡¯t have placed that bet,¡± Jiang Feng replied with a smile as he saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s surprise. He did not mention anything about the system, and Lin Miaoxue did not doubt him at all.


    She was just a little amazed by Jiang Feng¡¯s financial management. At the same time, she could understand why Jiang Feng would buy a lottery ticket for a million dollars. After all, even if he lost one million yuan on this bet, he would still have 99 million yuan! This one million yuan was really insignificant. It was just a small amount of money! Still, Jiang Feng¡¯s bet was too outrageous, and she couldn¡¯t understand it no matter how hard she tried. However, since Jiang Feng had said so much, she couldn¡¯t say anything else.


    ¡°Even if that¡¯s the case, you can¡¯t do this again in the future.¡± Lin Miaoxue¡¯s furrowed brows relaxed as she spoke to Jiang Feng with some anger and concern in her voice.


    Upon hearing her words, Jiang Feng felt a little warm in his heart. He was very satisfied to know that someone cared about him so much even when he was down and out. However, when he came back to his senses, he realized something.


    As he drove, he replied, ¡°You¡¯re my classmate, not my girlfriend. Why should I listen to you?


    ¡°If you were my girlfriend, I¡¯d listen to you.¡±


    After Jiang Feng said that, he smiled and turned his head to look at Lin Miaoxue.


    ¡°You wish. It¡¯s your money anyway. You can spend it however you want. I don¡¯t care.¡±


    Upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words, Lin Miaoxue rolled her eyes and spoke in a delicate voice.


    Then, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little shy. To be honest, Jiang Feng¡¯s words had tugged at her heartstrings. She covered the side of her face and waited for her blush to fade before turning her head to look at Jiang Feng. She looked at his handsome face with a faint smile.


    Lin Miaoxue realized that Jiang Feng seemed to be even more charming than before. His charm was indescribable. Besides, she seemed unable to see through him right now. He was only in his early twenties, yet he was much more mature than before. Retracting her gaze, Lin Miaoxue looked out of the window. She didn¡¯t know what to think once again.


    ¡­


    Soon, she and Jiang Feng arrived at the entrance of the hospital. The hospital parking lot was crowded, so Jiang Feng searched for a long time before he found a parking spot by the roadside. After he parked the car slowly, many people gathered around the spot. Most of them were passers-by, but among them were also some men waiting for their family members in the hospital. However, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t care about these people. He naturally understood everyone¡¯s curiosity. If they liked to watch, then let them watch.


    ¡°We¡¯re here. My sister is in the orthopedic department.¡± Jiang Feng turned the car off and spoke to Lin Miaoxue.


    ¡°Okay.¡± Lin Miaoxue nodded and unbuckled her seatbelt.


    However, at that moment, she suddenly turned her head around and looked at Jiang Feng with a serious expression. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a girlfriend?¡±


    ¡°I broke up with her a long time ago!¡±


    He answered Lin Miaoxue¡¯s sudden question without the slightest hesitation. He just blurted it out with incomparable ease and naturalness. As soon as she heard his words, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s brows instantly curved up and a charming smile blossomed on her face.

 Chapter 19

    When they entered the hospital, Jiang Feng led Lin Miaoxue into his little sister¡¯s ward.


    ¡°Dad, Mom, this is my former classmate, Lin Miaoxue. She lent me money so my little sister could be treated.¡±


    As soon as they walked into the ward, Jiang Feng opened his mouth and started to introduce them.


    ¡°Nice to meet you. Come in and have a seat,¡± Yu Xiumin said as she hurriedly stood up.


    Lin Miaoxue smiled and nodded. She followed Jiang Feng into the ward and placed all the fruits she had bought on the table by the bed.


    ¡°How¡¯s the patient?¡± Lin Miaoxue asked, sitting beside the bed and gently taking his little sister¡¯s hand.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, Sister. Thank you for helping us.¡±


    Little Sister was not afraid of strangers at all, so she just smiled and spoke to Lin Miaoxue.


    Looking at the beautiful, fairy-like young woman in front of her, she could not help having a good impression of her. Besides, she had been willing to generously help her brother when he was down and out, which made her feel even closer to Lin Miaoxue.


    The old couple next to her was also shocked by Lin Miaoxue¡¯s appearance. Her looks were definitely striking. Even compared to popular superstars, she was not inferior in any way. Even if she wore light makeup or no makeup at all, she could easily crush them, and the elegant demeanor of her body was even more extraordinary.


    The old couple couldn¡¯t help but think of their son¡¯s ex-girlfriend, Yu Jia. The two of them were as different as heaven and earth. Although Yu Jia didn¡¯t look bad, her temperament and manners were incomparable to this girl¡¯s. Lin Miaoxue was much better than her in all aspects.


    ¡°Xiaoxue, have some water.¡± Yu Xiumin didn¡¯t stay idle. She poured a glass of water and handed it to Lin Miaoxue enthusiastically.


    ¡°Thank you, Auntie,¡± Lin Miaoxue replied politely as she took the glass with both hands. Her every move was filled with the etiquette and self-cultivation of the daughter of a good family.


    ¡­


    As they sat in the ward, everyone chatted for a while. By now, Jiang Feng¡¯s family had a very good impression of Lin Miaoxue.


    Seeing that it was almost time to leave, Lin Miaoxue took the initiative to stand up.


    ¡°Take good care of yourself, Little Sister.


    ¡°Uncle and Auntie, it¡¯s so good to see that she is fine, but she needs to rest a bit more. I won¡¯t disturb her anymore.¡±


    She spoke with a faint smile, looking very gentle.


    This made Jiang Feng, who was standing next to her, feel very touched. All these years, he really hadn¡¯t realized that Lin Miaoxue had such a warm side.


    ¡°It¡¯s not easy to find a taxi here. Let me take you back,¡± Jiang Feng said, standing up as well.


    Yu Xiumin and her husband also stood up to see her off. As his little sister watched Lin Miaoxue walk out of the ward, she suddenly called out to Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Brother, come over here!¡±


    When he heard his little sister¡¯s voice behind him, Jiang Feng turned around and walked back to her.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, little sister? Do you want me to come back and bring you some delicious food?¡±


    Jiang Feng patted his little sister¡¯s head and spoke to her dotingly.


    ¡°Brother, this girl is much, much better than Yu Jia.


    ¡°Such a girl is hard to come by. You have to cherish her. Seize this opportunity!¡±


    Xiao Yu pulled Jiang Feng close and spoke to him quietly.


    As she did, she winked at Jiang Feng. Upon hearing her words, Jiang Feng smiled. His little sister really should worry about herself rather than him.


    ¡°I will fight for her,¡± he said with a smile before he turned around and left the ward.


    ¡­


    While driving Lin Miaoxue home, Jiang Feng was chatting with her. During this short time, the two of them did not feel as estranged as before. They said a lot to each other, talking about things until they felt quite comfortable.


    ¡°Oh, right. I have to return the 30,000 yuan you lent me.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to be the only one to lend me money. I¡¯m really touched.¡±


    However, as soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s expression immediately changed. She deliberately frowned and pretended to be angry. ¡°I¡¯m not short of money right now. There¡¯s no need for you to be in such a hurry.¡±


    She had only lent him the money in the morning, and that was why she had gotten in touch with Jiang Feng today. But if Jiang Feng turned around and returned the money now, he would have no reason to contact her in the future. Lin Miaoxue was a girl after all. She was prone to overthink, which was why she had deliberately said this.


    However, in Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes, returning the money didn¡¯t mean that they would not contact each other again. Besides, he knew that Lin Miaoxue wasn¡¯t the sort of person who spent money recklessly. This 30,000 yuan was definitely not too much for her, but she had earned it with hard work.


    ¡°I know your family is not short of money, but it doesn¡¯t make a difference.


    ¡°Besides, I won¡¯t forget all about you tomorrow just because I paid you back today.¡±


    Upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words, Lin Miaoxue burst out laughing!

 Chapter 20

    As they drove for a long time, Lin Miaoxue smiled and didn¡¯t say anything else. When they were near her house, she suddenly spoke again.


    She seemed to be very casual as she said, ¡°30,000 is not much. There¡¯s no point in talking about money.


    ¡°How about¡­ you treat me to a meal instead?¡±


    Her expression was very calm, and she said this very casually, without even looking at Jiang Feng.


    When he suddenly heard this, Jiang Feng was stunned. ¡°30,000 yuan just in exchange for a meal?¡±


    He was still quite honest, even though 30,000 yuan was not a lot of money to him at the moment. To Lin Miaoxue, who had worked hard to earn this money, it was not a small amount. Besides, Lin Miaoxue had never had luxurious habits.


    He was a little surprised that she had suggested that the two of them have a 30,000-yuan meal. However, when he expressed his doubts, Lin Miaoxue turned her head. She blinked her big eyes at him and smiled coquettishly. ¡°You misunderstood. 30,000 yuan can pay for a lot of meals.¡±


    After saying that, she quickly turned her head and felt her ears burning. She covered her face shyly, not daring to look at Jiang Feng. As soon as she said that, Jiang Feng instantly understood. Then, he changed the topic and deliberately asked a question back.


    ¡°If I only had steamed buns every day, wouldn¡¯t I be able to have such a meal for the rest of my life?¡±


    After she heard Jiang Feng¡¯s words, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face turned even redder. Meanwhile, Liu Xinyao had sent her a new message. She quickly took out her phone and didn¡¯t answer him. As Jiang Feng drove, he inadvertently glanced at Lin Miaoxue. When he saw the blush on her fair face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, he quickly turned back and continued driving.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s fingers were typing on the keyboard, but she couldn¡¯t even type a few words. In the meantime, Liu Xinyao¡¯s messages kept coming in, and her heart was pounding like a deer¡¯s, thumping non-stop.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng was in a very good mood. In a short while, they reached Lin Miaoxue¡¯s home. Her family lived in a high-end residential area in the wealthy district of Shanghai. This residential area was located on the edge of the Bund, and when one looked down, one could see half of Shanghai¡¯s scenery. It was definitely an extremely luxurious and beautiful experience. Only the truly wealthy could settle down in such a place. However, this was also a place with a big population. Jiang Feng was unfortunately stuck in traffic, which was a frequent occurrence there. He had no choice but to find a temporary parking spot and stop the car.


    Then, the two of them got out of the car and walked to Lin Miaoxue¡¯s home. Perhaps it was because they had arrived at a familiar place, but Lin Miaoxue became lively and chatted with Jiang Feng as they walked. When a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked together, they made people everywhere jealous. What made people even more envious was Lin Miaoxue¡¯s clear, bell-like laughter. The two of them looked like they were flirting, and as they walked, Jiang Feng saw a row of high-end restaurants.


    He turned his head and said straightforwardly, ¡°It¡¯s time to decide. What do you want to eat today? I¡¯ll make arrangements!¡±


    When she heard him, Lin Miaoxue turned her eyes and looked at the restaurant next door. After a quick glance, she pointed to the restaurant and said, ¡°How about we eat hairy crabs today?


    ¡°I¡¯ve been to this restaurant, and the squirrel fish is also delicious!¡± Her face looked as expectant as the face of a hungry cat.


    ¡°Okay!¡± Jiang Feng laughed, feeling carefree.


    ¡­


    Two hours later, darkness had already covered the entire city of Shanghai, and all the streets near the Bund were lit up by street lights. On the huge buildings, neon lights were flashing, and the beauty of the city was revealed in all its glory. In a restaurant close to Lin Miaoxue¡¯s neighborhood, Yu Jia was having dinner with a fat, greasy middle-aged man.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect you to be so interesting. Hehehe¡­¡± Yu Jia finished the delicious food with small bites and smiled at the greasy man. She seemed to be having a nice chat with him and enjoying his humor.


    However, the vulgar words of the greasy man made her want to vomit. She had long lost her good impression of him. However, the BMW key and the watch that the man had placed on the table made her choose to suppress her disgust.


    ¡°Haha, interesting souls tend to collide with each other. I¡¯m lucky that I¡¯ve met someone who knows how to appreciate me!¡± The man¡¯s heart melted when he heard Yu Jia¡¯s coquettish words. Then, he continued to say vulgar words, even though he didn¡¯t know where he had learned them.


    Yu Jia responded with a smile. Her gaze seemed to be on his face, but in fact, she was looking at the shop behind him. As soon as the greasy man finished speaking, Yu Jia¡¯s expression suddenly changed.


    Right across the street were Jiang Feng and Lin Miaoxue, who were smiling as they waved goodbye. This instantly reminded her of what had happened this morning. A few hours ago, Jiang Feng had yelled at her in the hospital and kicked her out. In the blink of an eye, he was chatting and laughing with another woman on the bustling streets of Shanghai.


    An angry fire immediately appeared in her heart. As expected, she had been right! Jiang Feng had hooked up with another woman. He must have been enchanted by this woman¡¯s beauty into betraying her! She was furious, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She hadn¡¯t gotten anything in so long, and in the end, Jiang Feng had cheated on her too. He had even yelled at her in the hospital. The anger in her heart was hard to suppress, and even her expression changed.


    This made the greasy man sitting across from her feel rather puzzled. Then, he turned his head and followed her gaze. The greasy man looked at Jiang Feng, who was about to leave. Then, he turned to her and asked, ¡°Are you looking at that guy? Do you know him?¡±


    Upon hearing the man¡¯s words, Yu Jia came back to her senses. She looked at the man and nodded. ¡°Yes, he is my ex-boyfriend.¡±


    Yu Jia didn¡¯t hesitate to reveal Jiang Feng¡¯s identity.


    When he heard this, the greasy man immediately asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s going on between you two? You look very angry.¡±


    Yu Jia looked at the man and put down the chopsticks in her hand. She then said angrily, ¡°His home was recently demolished. He invested 10 million yuan in Bitcoin and lost everything!


    ¡°That¡¯s fine. After all, it¡¯s his family¡¯s business.


    ¡°But I had been with him for so many months, and he didn¡¯t even buy me a branded bag. He was so stingy.


    ¡°The worst part is that he actually fooled around with another woman. He even turned around and scolded me before breaking up with me. That was really too much.


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly how he treated me. Sob, sob, sob¡­ He¡¯s too heartless¡­¡±


    As she spoke, Yu Jia pretended to be sad and wiped fake tears away. Her tearful appearance immediately made the greasy man¡¯s heart ache. As for what she had said, he didn¡¯t even think about it before deciding that she was right.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect him to be such a person!¡± the man said with a nod after hearing Yu Jia¡¯s words.


    ¡°Why? Do you know him?¡± Yu Jia immediately stopped sobbing and raised her head to look at the man.


    ¡°That¡¯s Jiang Feng! Of course I know him. He is one of my employees.


    ¡°I am the manager of the company. I am his superior!¡± When he said this, a hint of arrogance suddenly appeared on the greasy man¡¯s demeanor.


    As soon as she heard this, Yu Jia¡¯s heart felt complacent. She had never thought that the man in front of her would be Jiang Feng¡¯s immediate superior.


    ¡®Just you wait! This time, I will definitely teach you a lesson!¡¯ Yu Jia thought hatefully in her heart as she glanced at Jiang Feng, who was strolling away outside the window.

 Chapter 21

    ¡°He¡¯s actually your subordinate?


    ¡°I don¡¯t know how he¡¯s doing at your company, but he¡¯s really too much in my opinion.¡±


    Yu Jia squeezed out a few tears while speaking and started wiping her eyes.


    ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect him to be such a person. He looks like a loyal dog, but in private, he¡¯s morally corrupt!¡±


    The greasy man cursed when he heard what Yu Jia had said. At the same time, he thought of Jiang Feng and Lin Miaoxue just now. Jiang Feng was just a worker who earned a few thousand yuan a month, yet he actually had such a beautiful girlfriend. To be honest, this made him a little jealous.


    ¡°Who does he think he is? When I¡¯m around, he is as obedient as a dog.


    ¡°His current glory is only temporary. Given his current state, it won¡¯t be long before he is kicked out!¡±


    The man scolded him without any restraint. He did not take Jiang Feng seriously at all. When Yu Jia heard the other party scolding Jiang Feng like this, her heart immediately felt better.


    She also scolded herself in return. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault for being blind. This kind of man doesn¡¯t have many abilities, yet I was deceived by him.


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for his family to get wealthy thanks to the demolition. I was happy for him, but I didn¡¯t expect him to spend it all in one night. What a prodigal son!


    ¡°Given that little brain of his, it¡¯s already impressive enough that he leads a good life. He even invested everything at once. He deserved to lose all his family assets!¡±


    As Yu Jia scolded Jiang Feng, she felt the anger in her heart finally being vented.


    However, she wasn¡¯t satisfied at all. She had said that she must make Jiang Feng pay the price, so she had to make him pay the price! Then, she turned her eyes and looked at the fat manager in front of her.


    ¡°Having a person like him working under you is simply a disgrace.


    ¡°Looking at him every day must fill your heart with anxiety. Besides, considering that bad temper of his, he definitely won¡¯t listen to you.


    ¡°He¡¯s still bullying me! Sob, sob, sob¡­¡±


    As Yu Jia spoke, tears welled up in her eyes once again. She even took the opportunity to pull the fat man¡¯s arm, pretending to be wronged. The man felt her warmth on his arm, and his heart felt happier. He thought that he had Yu Jia in his grasp now.


    He immediately patted his chest and promised her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, that kid will suffer.


    ¡°He¡¯s just a poor country bumpkin. He can¡¯t afford all these living expenses. Without all his assets, he¡¯ll have a hard time living in Shanghai.


    ¡°You said his father is a cripple, right? That¡¯s even worse. He¡¯ll definitely work hard from now on. If he loses his job, he¡¯ll be done for!


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If he dares to bully you, I¡¯ll definitely teach him a lesson to show him what life is like!¡± the fat man said with contempt in his eyes and an arrogant look on his face.


    Yu Jia listened to his words and nodded while blinking her eyes. She secretly rejoiced in her heart. The lecherous fellow in front of her was now completely controlled by her.


    ¡°Eat first. We¡¯ll see how we¡¯ll deal with him later,¡± the greasy manager said proudly as he picked up a piece of meat and offered it to Yu Jia.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng took Lin Miaoxue home and then immediately returned to the parking place. Because the spot was a little bit remote, it did not attract a big crowd, but in front of the car were a few people. As Jiang Feng got closer, they looked over.


    Jiang Feng, who was getting closer, saw clearly that they were a few beautiful women with nice figures. They were wearing high heels and heavy makeup, and their clothes, which were tightly wrapped around their bodies, made them look very voluptuous. In a crowd, they would be considered pretty good-looking. However, Jiang Feng, who had seen Lin Miaoxue just now, really didn¡¯t like them. He wasn¡¯t even interested in them. Ignoring them, he slowly walked to the front of the car, took out the keys, opened the door, and got in under the shocked gazes of the beautiful women.


    ¡°This car is yours, handsome? Give me a ride!¡±


    Upon seeing Jiang Feng get into the car, a beautiful woman immediately walked over and bowed. She did not even use her hands to cover her chest, showing her snow-white skin to Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Handsome, this car is so nice. My taste is really similar to yours. Do you want to get to know me?¡±


    ¡°Hey, handsome, give me your phone number. You have everything I want!¡±


    ¡°Brother, I really want to talk to you. Give me your contact information!¡±


    The other girls next to him immediately surrounded him too and tried to curry favor with Jiang Feng. There were all kinds of women, and every single one of them pretended to be innocent. Jiang Feng did not even look at them as he closed the window. Right before the eyes of these beautiful women, he stepped on the accelerator and slowly drove away. Through the rearview mirror, he could still see their disappointed, annoyed faces.


    ¡­


    While slowly driving to the hospital, waiting for the traffic flow to pick up speed, he stopped at a red light for a long time. As he sat in the car, he finally felt a trace of peace.


    Too many things had happened in one day. In one night, he had earned a hundred million, which was even faster than he had dreamed. But before he could feel happy, his simple circle of friends had immediately turned into countless demons and monsters. Innumerable friends had added insult to injury, double-faced relatives had wantonly cursed him, and his ex-girlfriend, Yu Jia, had broken up with him and shamelessly berated him.


    However, what made Jiang Feng the saddest were the cold words that his good brother, Shen Wen, had said. In just a short afternoon, he had seen through the hearts of his hypocritical friends and relatives. When he had money and was useful to them, they would hang around. When he was useless, they would throw stones at him while he was down.


    ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for Lin Miaoxue, I really don¡¯t know who else I would have been able to speak to.¡± Jiang Feng sighed. His heart couldn¡¯t help feeling a little conflicted. Lin Miaoxue¡¯s appearance today had really made him feel warm. It had made his cold heart feel alive again. And today¡¯s meeting had also shown Jiang Feng that this aloof goddess was actually not that difficult to approach. In fact, her heart was still very soft.


    As he thought back to today¡¯s long conversation, the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help forming a trace of a smile. Because of this day¡¯s meeting and this acquaintance of his, Jiang Feng¡¯s heart was moved once again. He felt that this girl was the person he wanted. The person he could spend the rest of his life with, until both their hair turned gray!


    However, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s family situation could not be compared to Jiang Feng¡¯s family situation. Jiang Feng did not know what Lin Miaoxue¡¯s family was like. Upon thinking back to his little sister¡¯s words, though, Jiang Feng believed in himself again.


    ¡®If I want to marry someone, then I should fight for her!


    ¡®Even a goddess needs someone to chase after her. That person should be me!¡¯


    As Jiang Feng encouraged himself deep in his heart, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He currently only had 100 million, but he would also earn another 100 million tomorrow. Thanks to the existence of the system, his future would definitely be bright! Thus, he couldn¡¯t just leave his money like this. He had to keep studying finance, even though he was not in school anymore.


    Back then, he had dreamed of building his own financial empire one day! Unfortunately, he had been forced to make a living later on, and this had become a fantasy of his youth. But now, this thought once again appeared in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind. He currently had the capital to pursue his past dream! He could totally invest in his own company and grow stronger step by step!


    In the past, Jiang Feng had wanted to be famous in his country, and being able to enter the top 500 was a very impressive feat. But now, with the system in his possession, his dream was far bigger than that. His eyes were set on conquering the world, a goal that no one could achieve!


    ¡­


    ¡°Beep, beep¡­¡±


    As Jiang Feng was thinking, the sound of a car horn suddenly came from behind him, making him come back to his senses. Green light.


    It was like a green light in his life, signifying that he could move freely now. Start a company, chase a goddess¡­


    Jiang Feng collected his thoughts and decided what his next goal would be in the car. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward. The Pagani roared like a hot-blooded youth before setting off again! He was brave and passionate enough to find love and realize his dreams!

 Chapter 22

    Jiang Feng¡¯s heart was filled with energy as he drove along. He had set his future goals, so he now had to focus on what was in front of him. His little sister was still lying in the hospital, which had always been on Jiang Feng¡¯s mind. Besides, his mother had said that she would be able to have the surgery in a few days. In the past, it would already have been very good to be treated by an expert at the city orthopedic hospital. Plus, this was the best choice for most people.


    But now, Jiang Feng was rich. He had a full 100 million in his hands, and he was driving the latest version of the Pagani supercar! He naturally couldn¡¯t let his family live like they used to in the past. After all, the system had rewarded him with a seaside villa that he hadn¡¯t even seen yet. He looked at his watch and saw that it was only seven o¡¯clock in the evening. It was still early, so Jiang Feng decided to go back and move.


    He would move directly to the villa, as there would be enough time at night. After all, he didn¡¯t need to bring many things over. The villa had already been prepared. The house that the system had awarded him with was fully equipped and didn¡¯t lack a thing. The reason he was moving there was because he thought that it would be quiet. Besides, the environment was good, spacious, and comfortable. It would definitely be good for his parents to live there, and it was also a suitable place for his little sister to quietly recuperate.


    Plus, when they moved to the villa, Jiang Feng would not need to take his sister to the city hospital to see a doctor. He was prepared to hire a private doctor. The environment would certainly be much better than the hospital¡¯s, where there were many patients, and the doctor could also treat his little sister one-on-one. This way, her recovery would definitely be much smoother.


    At the same time, Jiang Feng wanted to check his father¡¯s leg. For many years, his dad¡¯s leg disease had been bad, and sometimes the pain would not let him sleep all night. He had suffered this injury to give him and his little sister a better life. Jiang Feng had always remembered, but he had been unable to do anything before. Now that he had the ability, he would absolutely do the best he could for his family! This was his life now!


    ¡­


    As Jiang Feng thought about it, time passed by unintentionally. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the entrance of the hospital. After getting out of the car, he was just about to go up to his parents to discuss the move, when his cell phone suddenly began ringing impatiently in his pocket.


    ¡°Manager Zhu?¡± Jiang Feng was a little puzzled. Why was the company manager calling him now? His boss liked to brag and had even made Jiang Feng clock in several times, so he didn¡¯t have a good impression of this guy.


    Meanwhile, the greasy manager was showing off to Yu Jia with a smug look on his face. ¡°Just wait and see. With just a call from me, he will crawl out like my underling!¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, the phone was picked up. In order to let Yu Jia hear, he even turned on the speaker phone. As soon as the call was picked up, Yu Jia leaned over and listened attentively. There was even a hint of mockery in her eyes as she waited to hear Jiang Feng¡¯s subservient voice.


    ¡°Manager Zhu, what¡¯s the matter?¡± When he picked up, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t hold back. Instead, he spoke in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.


    Upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s voice, Zhu Hongda immediately ordered him around arrogantly. ¡°Jiang Feng, I¡¯m at the Bund. I have a client with me and I want to drink tonight. Come here to drive me!¡±


    Zhu Hongda¡¯s voice carried an unquestionable tone, but Jiang Feng burst into laughter.


    What was wrong with this fat guy¡¯s head? He was currently on vacation, and tomorrow was his first day back at work. In the past, he might have been a little worried. After all, he had to earn money to support his family. But now? Hehe!


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯m not free,¡± Jiang Feng replied directly. His tone was extremely casual, as though he hadn¡¯t taken Zhu Hongda¡¯s words seriously at all.


    The manager kept waiting for Jiang Feng to come up with an excuse, but when he heard this, he was instantly stunned. Jiang Feng¡¯s answer made him doubt his own life. How dare a bankrupt kid be so stubborn? Feeling angry, Zhu Hongda said, ¡°Jiang Feng, do you think I¡¯m asking you? Do you still want this job or not?!¡±


    Zhu Hongda spoke loudly, wanting to show Jiang Feng his strength.


    However, the threat of losing his job did not make Jiang Feng feel afraid. ¡°Hehe, I¡¯m on vacation. You don¡¯t have the right to take away my vacation time. Go find someone else!¡± Jiang Feng sneered as he answered decisively. After saying that, he hung up the phone. Afraid that the guy would try to annoy him again, he added him directly to the black list.


    As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking on the phone, the sound of the busy tone followed. This made Zhu Hongda¡¯s face turn dark. He glanced at Yu Jia beside him and felt a little embarrassed. Just a moment ago, he had vowed to make Jiang Feng grovel, but instead, Jiang Feng had directly confronted him. As a company manager, he felt a little humiliated. Besides, Yu Jia was right beside him, making it really difficult for him to back down. When he looked at Yu Jia, he was shocked. The two of them stared at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward!

 Chapter 23

    The awkward atmosphere instantly made Zhu Hongda¡¯s face turn ugly. Yu Jia was a smart person, though, and she didn¡¯t want to part ways with this rich man, whom she had finally met for the first time today, on such an unhappy note.


    Thus, she hurriedly explained to him, ¡°Jiang Feng dared to talk back to you, which is exactly how he treated me this morning.


    ¡°It seems that he must have suffered a huge blow after losing all his family assets. He must be planning to break all ties!¡±


    As soon as she said this, the awkwardness between them dissipated.


    ¡°He deserves it. With that cowardly look of his, he won¡¯t be able to get rich in this lifetime! He¡¯s a poor man.¡±


    Zhu Hongda¡¯s expression changed, and Yu Jia quickly continued.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. How could he compare to you? You¡¯re so young and promising. Not only did you become the company¡¯s manager, but you also have a house for rent. Now, you have me. No one is richer than you.¡±


    Yu Jia immediately smiled and praised Zhu Hongda, her hands pinching Zhu Hongda¡¯s fat pig claws non-stop.


    This immediately made Zhu Hongda¡¯s mood better. The awkwardness and embarrassment he had felt just now disappeared in a puff of smoke. At the same time, he raised his other hand to touch Yu Jia¡¯s hand and laughed.


    ¡°You¡¯re the biggest treasure. The pearl at the highest point of Shanghai can¡¯t even compare to you.¡± It was unknown how his brain had started to work, but he could suddenly form words again.


    ¡°You are the best. That kid Jiang Feng never said anything nice to me.


    ¡°Not only is he poor, but he is also bad with words!¡±


    Yu Jia saw that Zhu Hongda was happy, but she still pretended to be wronged to provoke him a little. She was really a drama queen and she always said what would work in her favor in each situation. Previously, when she had been with Jiang Feng, she had pretended to be very obedient and pure. Otherwise, Jiang Feng wouldn¡¯t have been with her. But now that she was with Zhu Hongda, she was both charming and coquettish. She pretended to be wronged instead!


    Obviously, Zhu Hongda liked this. As soon as she finished speaking, his pride surged out once again. ¡°Hmph, what a poor kid. His vacation ends tomorrow. When he arrives at the company, I¡¯ll teach him a good lesson!


    ¡°If he dares to contradict me, even if he can¡¯t take it, he¡¯ll have to bear the consequences!¡± Zhu Hongda said arrogantly.


    Yu Jiamei smiled. She was ready to watch Jiang Feng make a fool of himself!


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, on the ground floor of the hospital, Jiang Feng put away his phone. He hadn¡¯t taken the phone call seriously at all. He didn¡¯t know that Zhu Hongda was with Yu Jia, so he had no idea that all of this had been done on purpose to mess with him. He didn¡¯t know anything. What he wanted to do was go to the company tomorrow, quit his job, clean up everything that needed to be cleaned up, and say goodbye to the company. After he was done with all this, he would start his own company!


    Upon making up his mind, Jiang Feng quickly walked into the hospital and went upstairs. When he told his parents all this in the ward, the old couple immediately agreed. They all listened to Jiang Feng now. After all, he was the head of the family, as he could support the whole family on his own.


    However, when they discovered that Jiang Feng had bought a big villa, the old couple immediately felt a little distressed.


    ¡°You spend money so recklessly. You can¡¯t be so extravagant anymore!¡±


    Yu Xiumin couldn¡¯t help berating Jiang Feng.


    ¡°We already have a new house to live in, yet you bought a villa. This is too wasteful,¡± Jiang Jianzhong said too.


    However, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t care at all. Instead, he smiled and urged them to hurry back home to pack up what was necessary and move out tonight. He knew that although the two of them had scolded him for being wasteful, they had to be very happy in their hearts.


    That was indeed the case. They had watched their son grow up and become successful. After becoming rich, though, he had not forgotten the two of them. He was even willing to spend money so they could enjoy their lives. How could they not be happy in their hearts? After being poor for a lifetime, they were now able to live in their son¡¯s villa. Needless to say, they were very happy.


    Encouraged by Jiang Feng, the old couple quickly returned to their home in the suburbs to pack up their things. Jiang Feng, on the other hand, negotiated with the hospital and went through all the relevant procedures. He then pushed his little sister down the stairs in a wheelchair.


    ¡°Brother, how big is the villa you bought?¡± she asked excitedly while sitting in the wheelchair, as if nothing had happened.


    ¡°It¡¯s enormous, and there¡¯s a garden to grow vegetables for mom and dad. I can even raise a bunch of white rabbits for you,¡± Jiang Feng answered with a smile.


    ¡°Wow! You can even raise rabbits? ! That¡¯s great!¡± His little sister happily stretched out her two slender arms as she exclaimed.


    ¡­


    A private car called by Jiang Feng and his family quickly arrived at the seaside villa in Shanghai. The place was located by the sea of Shanghai and had a wide field of vision. It was definitely a top-notch, wealthy district. There were only a few manors and villas like Jiang Feng¡¯s around, and they were a fair distance away. After all, such a manor was quite expensive in a place like Shanghai, where every inch of land was expensive. This was not something that an average person could afford. However, the system had not only bought it for Jiang Feng but had also provided all the necessary information. Jiang Feng would have no problem living there!


    He asked a few workers to leave their luggage at the entrance of the villa and paid them to leave. Then, he led his little sister and their parents into the huge villa. The salty sea breeze blew, causing his little sister¡¯s hair to flutter in the wind. After walking down a long path filled with all kinds of flowers, they finally reached the door. Jiang Feng only raised his eyes, and his irises were immediately recognized, unlocking the door. Following that, the central intelligent system was activated. The lights of the entire villa were switched on, instantly making the surroundings brighten up.


    ¡°Oh my God, this is too beautiful.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s a four-story building. It should be around 500 to 600 square meters!¡±


    The old couple walked into the living room and was stunned by the spacious environment in front of them.


    ¡°Wow! It¡¯s so big! Just the living room alone is bigger than our previous house!¡±


    ¡°Brother, I want a fun tour! Give me one quickly!¡±


    His little sister was dancing in the wheelchair as she called out to Jiang Feng happily.


    ¡°Come on, I will take you around the villa!¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled and started to push his little sister around. As for his parents, Jiang Feng let them do whatever they wanted. It was their home, after all, so they could do whatever they wanted as long as they were happy! Meanwhile, the brother and sister chatted and laughed, one of them pushing the other around the villa. They looked around and heard the echo of their laughter from time to time.


    Yu Xiumin and Jiang Jianzhong walked both upstairs and downstairs, exclaiming in amazement. They had never seen such a luxurious house in their entire lives. For a moment, they could not get used to it. However, when they heard the laughter of the two children, they looked at each other and laughed. The originally spacious living room was filled with the laughter of the entire family. The 500 square meters of space were filled with happiness, and even the air seemed to have softened.


    ¡°Xiao Yu, guess what¡¯s in this room?¡± Jiang Feng pushed his little sister to the door of a room on the second floor, pretending to be mysterious.


    ¡°Uh¡­¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s question made his little sister feel a little insecure. After thinking for a few seconds, she raised her head and blinked her watery eyes. She looked at Jiang Feng, who was behind her, and answered, ¡°Is it my bedroom?¡±


    ¡°How can you be so smart?!¡± Jiang Feng opened his mouth and laughed in surprise. At the same time, he opened the door of the room in front of him. A second later, the smart sensor light lit up, and an overload of cuteness filled his eyes!


    The entire room was full of pink, cute stuff, and the surrounding cabinets were filled with adorable figurines and toys. A few cute dolls on the bedside quietly waited for the arrival of their little owner. Upon seeing this, his little sister was stunned on the spot, and her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at everything in the room. A moment later, she came back to her senses and turned around to look at Jiang Feng with a face full of surprise.


    Then, she screamed out loud. She was so excited that she almost jumped out of her wheelchair. If Jiang Feng had not pulled her back carefully, she might have gone to the hospital again tonight.


    ¡°Brother, I love you to death!¡± His little sister was so excited that she danced around and pulled Jiang Feng to give him a fierce kiss on the face. Then, she grinned.


    Jiang Feng looked at his little sister, who was so happy that she could not control herself, and smiled in relief. What kind of girl didn¡¯t want a princess room that belonged only to her? Now, her brother had given it to her!


    ¡­


    The brother and sister played upstairs and downstairs for a long time. They didn¡¯t stop until their mother called them for dinner. Although it was already past nine o¡¯clock in the evening, this didn¡¯t prevent them from having a warm dinner together.


    ¡°Hehe, I just heard a pretty girl send a message to you,¡± his little sister said with a smile while eating.


    After that, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Feng with a wicked smile. ¡°Brother, are you going to find me a pretty sister-in-law?¡±


    Then, she took two more mouthfuls of rice and pretended to be mature. ¡°Mom and dad are already waiting to have a grandson.¡±


    The rest of her family, who was eating, was stunned upon hearing what she¡¯d said. Then, they burst into laughter because of her weird behavior. Their laughter filled the dining table late at night, and the warm looks on the family¡¯s faces stayed there until dinner ended. Their mom then went to clean the kitchen as usual, and the family went back to their rooms to rest.


    ¡­


    While lying in bed on soft velvet pillows, Yu Xiumin and Jiang Jianzhong got some sleep. They had thought a lot about their daughter¡¯s leg injury and their son¡¯s actions. Everything weighed heavily in their hearts, even though they were very optimistic, and they still could not help but worry.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister held the doll sitting by the bedside and looked at the things around her. Her heart was full of thoughts¡­ Not only was she happy, but she also looked forward to the future and seeing her brother during the day¡­


    Meanwhile, after a busy day, her brother was lying in bed, feeling a little tired. He wasn¡¯t in a very energetic mood. His mind was only filled with thoughts of starting a company. What kind of company should he start? How should he recruit people, and how should he position himself to ensure his future development? As he considered these questions, Jiang Feng slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep¡­

 Chapter 24

    As usual, at seven o¡¯clock in the morning, Jiang Feng opened his sleepy eyes. Just as he picked up the phone, which was next to his pillow, he heard a ding-dong. Jiang Feng smiled and looked at his phone.


    ¡°Good Morning.¡± Lin Miaoxue had sent him a message.


    As he looked at it, Jiang Feng¡¯s heart warmed. This was the first time in a long time that Jiang Feng had someone say good morning to him. Yu Jia had never had such a habit.


    ¡°Good morning,¡± Jiang Feng typed on the keyboard in reply.


    Then, he received another message.


    ¡°Coffee. JPG¡±


    ¡°Eat a proper breakfast. You didn¡¯t like breakfast in college, but you should have some now.¡±


    As he looked at the steaming coffee she had sent him, her words warmed Jiang Feng¡¯s heart even more. He could feel the warmth in Lin Miaoxue¡¯s heart too. She was a very considerate person, and she only looked cold on the outside.


    Speaking of the fact that he didn¡¯t often eat breakfast in college, he remembered that Lin Miaoxue had sent him bread more than once. She was cold to others, but she had always shown vague concern for him. This made Jiang Feng even more certain of his previous guess. Could she have liked him in university?


    Jiang Feng scratched his head, feeling a little puzzled. He couldn¡¯t figure out what had been good about him at the time. Other than being a good student, he felt that he really didn¡¯t use to have any good qualities. After having a conversation with her, he became even more curious. He still liked her very much. After all, Lin Miaoxue was really extraordinary.


    But Jiang Feng wasn¡¯t sure if she felt the same way. Scratching his head, he typed on the keyboard a reply. ¡°I owe you 30,000 yuan. How about I pick you up from work today and pay you back by treating you to another meal?¡±


    A few seconds after the message was sent, Jiang Feng thought that he had been a little vague. Maybe his words had been a little excessive. After all, the two of them had just met yesterday, and in the blink of an eye, they had gotten off work to have a meal. It seemed a little too fast, so Jiang Feng calmed himself down and thought for a moment. Then, he quickly reached out to withdraw the message.


    At that moment, Lin Miaoxue sent another message.


    The message included a simple word: ¡°Okay!¡±


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll be waiting for you!¡±


    As he looked at this message, Jiang Feng was a little stunned. Could she be more anxious than him? It seemed as if she was so anxious that she couldn¡¯t wait for him to come over. In just a few seconds, before Jiang Feng could reply, Lin Miaoxue had sent another message.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to¡­ hurry. It¡¯s still early.¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled when he saw the message she had hurriedly added.


    ¡­


    At the same time, in the Kerry Financial Company on the 23rd floor of the Quantum Building, Lin Miaoxue was holding her phone in one hand and a coffee in the other, with a silly smile on her face. The surrounding employees looked at Lin Miaoxue strangely.


    ¡°You spilled your coffee!¡± a male colleague sitting next to Lin Miaoxue told her with a puzzled look on his face.


    Lin Miaoxue instantly came back to her senses. Unknowingly, she had spilled the coffee in her hand. She hadn¡¯t even noticed that it had splashed her high heels and her snow-white ankles.


    When she came back to her senses and took a look at the coffee, Lin Miaoxue quickly put away her phone. As soon as she saw the strange gazes of her colleagues, her fair face could not help blushing.


    ¡°Why are you blushing?¡± the colleague beside her could not help but ask with an even more confused look on his face.


    This stunned Lin Miaoxue, who quickly reached out to touch her ears and felt that they were already burning up. ¡°Am I?¡±


    Turning around, she calmly said, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±


    However, her blushing face had already attracted the attention of many people. Even though she had been working in the company for more than half a year, no one had ever seen Lin Miaoxue like this. Many male colleagues were mesmerized by her shy appearance.


    ¡°How could such a beautiful person exist in this world?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s too adorable. I¡¯m just a woman, but I like her so much.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s even more beautiful than when she is cold and aloof. She¡¯s just too beautiful.¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful that it makes one¡¯s hair stand on end. She¡¯s even prettier than usual today!¡±


    Many people were secretly praising Lin Miaoxue as they stood beside her. Everyone in the company was captivated by Lin Miaoxue¡¯s beauty.


    As she listened to the whispers around her, Lin Miaoxue quickly walked to her seat with the cup of coffee in her hand under the gazes of every company employee. As she took a seat, she looked at the black screen of her phone. Then, she turned to her subordinate and asked in a low voice, ¡°Do I look good today?¡±


    When the girl next to her heard this, she instantly turned her head around. She carefully glanced at Lin Miaoxue and said in surprise, ¡°You look good. Sister Xue¡¯er, you look good no matter how much you dress up.¡±


    This made Lin Miaoxue even happier. After all, all girls liked being praised. Meanwhile, a subordinate beside her looked at Lin Miaoxue¡¯s appearance, feeling filled with curiosity. He then went ahead and asked, ¡°Team leader, are you in a relationship? Why are you smiling so sweetly?¡±


    As soon as this subordinate finished speaking, everyone in the company looked over. Countless men¡¯s gazes were focused on Lin Miaoxue, and when she heard this, her face turned even redder. However, her expression immediately turned cold. She then shook her head and looked at her subordinate with a straight face. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡±


    ¡°You guys talk too much. Let¡¯s get this meeting over with!¡±


    After saying that, she hurriedly picked up the folder, covered her face, and left. She walked quickly to the meeting room under the lonely eyes of the sighing company men.

 Chapter 25

    Jiang Feng got out of bed in a good mood. When he opened the curtains to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the seaside early in the morning, his mood became even better.


    As he walked out of the room, he looked at the quiet villa and saw that his parents and little sister had not woken up yet. He also realized that too many things had happened yesterday. Besides, they had moved into the villa overnight. Naturally, it was difficult for them to adapt in a short period of time, especially for his parents, who had been used to living in their hometown all their lives. In just two days, they had moved twice. They could not even fall asleep easily, so they must have fallen asleep very late.


    Therefore, Jiang Feng did not disturb them. He went to the bathroom to wash up and carefully freshened up. He then made some simple breakfast in the kitchen. After eating, he saved some for his parents and left the house in a good mood.


    Today was the end of his vacation time, so it was time to go to work. After leaving the villa, Jiang Feng looked at the Pagani in the garage and decided to take a taxi to the company. This car was too eye-catching and high-profile to drive it there. Being surrounded by people on the way yesterday had not felt pleasant at all, and Jiang Feng had not liked it.


    He instead called for a taxi and headed to the company. The distance from the villa to the company was much shorter than the distance to Jiang Feng¡¯s hometown. It took barely more than half an hour to get there by taxi. As he stood outside the company building and looked at this familiar place, Jiang Feng felt a little emotional.


    This was his first job. Back then, he had just graduated and had felt full of excitement as he¡¯d entered the company. In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed. He hadn¡¯t earned much money there, but this job had allowed him to see the cruelty of the workplace and the real face of society. There weren¡¯t many employees in the company, but there were enough.


    Some people really made Jiang Feng feel disgusted, so he didn¡¯t have a good impression of them. However, after working for more than half a year there, Jiang Feng still felt a little nostalgic. He was inexplicably a little reluctant to leave all of a sudden.


    If it was possible, Jiang Feng wouldn¡¯t mind buying the company. But this was a financial company, so Jiang Feng¡¯s money was far from enough. One or two hundred million seemed to be a lot. But in the financial world, that was just a dollar or two!


    ¡­


    On the 25th floor of the building, many employees at Cinda Financial were busy. This was a financial company, so the annual output value of the company was only 300 or 400 million. In Shanghai, the country¡¯s largest financial center, they were not really considered a good company. Most of the projects of the company were only worth millions or hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it was already a miracle that they made twenty to thirty million yuan a year. In the past few years, they had not even made that much!


    However, when Jiang Feng had started working there, most of his job had involved dealing with documents. In half a year, he had gotten two 500,000-yuan clients! Actually, it was not that he did not want to take them. It was just that the idiotic manager always looked down on him, a newcomer, and would not give him those clients.


    Jiang Feng had considered leaving this place, but unfortunately, at the time, he¡¯d needed to earn money to support his family! Given Jiang Feng¡¯s college results, he could have been hired by a very good company. However, the financial industry required capital, and many excellent companies needed previous actual results. After all, they weren¡¯t simply recruiting employees, so the capital behind the employees¡¯ families was also quite important to them. Therefore, Jiang Feng could only work for this kind of small company as a part-time employee.


    At that moment, inside the company, the door of the president¡¯s office was tightly shut. There was no sound outside the office, but the inside of the office was a mess! The table was filled with all kinds of documents, there were instant noodle boxes in the trash can, and crumpled A-4 paper was thrown all over the floor. The room was also filled with smoke, and the computer was buzzing.


    The boss¡¯s hair was messy and his eyes were dark, as if he was seriously ill. He had a phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he had not slept in three days, and he was in an extremely bad condition!


    Beside him, the financial director¡¯s face was also filled with worry. He was holding a large stack of bills and documents in his hands, reporting on them one by one!


    ¡°The boss of Lin Yun Group is currently pressing for the three million he lent us. His company even sent someone to look for you today, but I found an excuse to get rid of him!


    ¡°We invested the last 500,000 of the five million we borrowed from Dongpu Bank this morning, and there isn¡¯t a single cent left!


    ¡°Also, the three million we borrowed from Director Liu has run out!


    ¡°We have invested all the money from the other accounts and the studio. We only have 2,381.5 yuan left now.¡±


    As soon as financial director Song Yaozhong finished speaking, Zhang Qidong¡¯s expression became even uglier. He took a deep puff of his cigarette and choked until he coughed repeatedly. The reason he was in such a sorry state was because of an investment he had made a few days ago.


    To be more precise, Zhang Qidong had taken a big gamble!

 Chapter 26

    Just a few days ago, while Zhang Qidong had been looking for a new investment, he had accidentally come into contact with Pork Inc. Knowing that the price of pork was rising, he had kept this in mind. Then, he had studied the market overnight and, after carefully analyzing all the information, he had almost felt like he was flying from joy.


    Based on what he knew, the price of pork would continue to rise during this period of time, so he had immediately bought Pork Inc. to make a big profit. Taking advantage of this momentum to make money, Zhang Qidong had directly invested 80% of the company¡¯s money and had even found an agency to increase his leverage 10 times.


    He hadn¡¯t discussed this matter with the other managers of the company. Instead, he had directly taken matters into his own hands. After all, this matter had nothing to do with them. This money-making investment was all for him, so he could quickly expand the company. And because the company was his, he naturally didn¡¯t need to tell his subordinates.


    But what he hadn¡¯t expected was that the day after he bought Pork Inc, the price of pork would begin to fall. This fall lasted for a week, and if this was a simple investment, it would have been fine. He could have gritted his teeth and endured it. However, this was an investment with ten times the normal leverage. If the price of pork fell below the average, then the agency would immediately remove all the leverage!


    Then, he would lose everything! 80% of the company¡¯s assets would evaporate overnight, and the company would go bankrupt! In that case, not only would he be penniless, but he might even be sent to jail! This possibility kept Zhang Qidong up the entire night, and he also added the last 20% of the company¡¯s assets.


    However, this decline was far from over. Zhang Qidong began to carefully check the market situation while borrowing money from everywhere he could. In order to avoid liquidating the company, he would make phone calls every day to borrow money. In the end, he borrowed everything that he could. Until today, that is, when he finally exhausted all his connections for 500,000 yuan.


    The company¡¯s financial account was completely empty, and that last 2,000 yuan was useless. However, the price of pork in the market continued to fall. This was the reason why Zhang Qidong was in such a sorry state at the moment.


    ¡­


    He continued sitting in front of his desk, which he had not left for whole days and nights. The market chart on the computer in front of him had completely turned a diagonal line! Zhang Qidong glanced at the computer screen weakly, his bloodshot eyes looking a little ferocious.


    As a person who had been working in finance for many years, he could instantly tell that if this trend continued, in less than half an hour, the price of pork would fall below the average! Then, if he could not fix it, the company would immediately take away his position, and he would be completely finished. The company¡¯s tens of millions would instantly evaporate, and the company would go bankrupt. The tens of millions of debt on his back would also cause him to go to jail!


    ¡°Old Song, can you still think of a way out?¡± Zhang Qidong asked weakly, putting out the cigarette.


    ¡°Sigh! Brother Dong, the company has survived for many years.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you the truth. In the past two days, I¡¯ve even borrowed some money from our best clients!


    ¡°I¡¯ve borrowed everything I could. Now, all I need to do is beg on the streets!¡± Song Yaozhong said hatefully with a sigh.


    His heart ached as well. Even though he could still live comfortably after leaving this company, he had been building the company with Zhang Qidong for many years. The feelings in his heart were deep, and he ultimately couldn¡¯t bear to part with it! Even though Zhang Qidong¡¯s huge investment had failed, he didn¡¯t blame him in the slightest. After all, he had also been trying to make the company bigger and better! God¡¯s plan was better than a man¡¯s. After more than ten years, he was wrong for once!


    ¡°I¡¯ve got it. You go ahead and do your job. I¡¯ll think of something else!¡± Zhang Qidong told Song Yaozhong after a long silence.


    ¡°Sigh!¡± Song Yaozhong knew that there was nothing he could do this time. In his eyes, Zhang Qidong was still his boss, even though he had gone bankrupt, so he could only listen to him and leave with a sigh.


    Seeing Song Yaozhong leave, Zhang Qidong sat in his chair and pondered this for a long time. Then, he picked up his phone and made a few more calls, trying to find some funds. However, the calls he made were all ended without exception. As he looked at the declining price, Zhang Qidong collapsed in his chair, his eyes filled with despair. This time, he had miscalculated everything. He was done for!


    ¡°This can¡¯t be, damn it!¡± Zhang Qidong couldn¡¯t believe that his analysis had been wrong, but in the end, he laughed bitterly at himself. After all, no matter what he thought or what kind of move he made in half an hour, it was all out of his hands. All of this was totally meaningless.


    The despair in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and Zhang Qidong could not help standing up and walking to the window. As he stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling scene of Shanghai outside the building, his eyes were filled with unwillingness and regret. Then, he pulled open the window, and the wind instantly blew his hair, making it messy.


    He did not care about any of this. He just held onto the window frame with both hands, half of his leg stepping out of it, ready to jump down. He wanted to die and put an end to all of this, just like countless bankrupt entrepreneurs! However, as he looked at the dozens of floors below, he hesitated.


    Although Zhang Qidong had stepped halfway out of the window, after hesitating for a long time, he finally retracted his leg. He then took out his phone and turned on Douyin, wanting to see the short videos of his daughter and wife before he died. He wanted to hear their voices and see them smile one last time so he could apologize to them in his heart.


    ¡­


    Standing in front of the window, he opened the application with trembling hands, and the first video that popped up was popular all over the city. It had only a few hundred likes, but the algorithm recommended it to him.


    ¡°The streets of Shanghai were shocked by a second-generation rich man driving a limited-edition Pagani supercar!¡±


    Zhang Qidong looked down and saw a video clip of Jiang Feng getting out of the supercar in front of the Quantum Building in Shanghai. The focus of the video was on the car, so only Jiang Feng¡¯s profile had been captured.


    As he looked at the young man driving this luxury car, Zhang Qidong felt that he looked a little familiar for some reason. But at that moment, he didn¡¯t have the heart to think too much about it. He just sighed with emotion.


    ¡®It¡¯s so good to be a second-generation rich person.


    ¡®If I were one, I wouldn¡¯t have to live such a hard life!¡¯


    Zhang Qidong sighed in self-mockery. Then, he directly swiped away at the video¡­ He then opened his daughter¡¯s account and looked at her most recent daily videos¡­

 Chapter 27

    The elevator opened on the 25th floor and Jiang Feng walked out, walking toward the company offices, just like he had two days ago. But as soon as he walked in, a sharp voice was heard.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, stop!


    ¡°It¡¯s already 8:15. Why are you so late?¡±


    As the voice was heard, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks walked over. He stood in front of Jiang Feng, preventing him from moving forward. At the same time, his voice attracted the attention of other employees of the company. Blocked by the guy in front of him, Jiang Feng stopped and looked at him coldly.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there a problem?¡±


    ¡°Yo, you¡¯re pretty good! Why are you asking me what¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you know that you¡¯re late?¡±


    The mean man looked at Jiang Feng and pointed at his chest as he spoke in a strange tone. His voice was deliberately loud, causing more colleagues to shoot him sidelong glances. The managers behind them did not stop him. Instead, a hint of mockery appeared in their eyes as they watched the scene with relish.


    Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng knew that this kid was about to start acting up again. As the company¡¯s attendance supervisor, he often made things difficult for new employees. Every new employee of the company would be automatically targeted by him. Regardless of whether you did the right thing or not, as long as he didn¡¯t like you, he would find all kinds of excuses to make things difficult for you.


    His disgusting methods could definitely ruin someone¡¯s entire day, and it seemed that he was about to make a move on Jiang Feng today. At first, he didn¡¯t want to talk to him, but the kid actually stopped him.


    ¡°The company opens at 8:30. Who said that I was late?¡± Jiang Feng didn¡¯t hold back at all.


    As soon as he spoke, his words aroused the interest of the other people present. Many people¡¯s faces formed a big smile as they kept watching the show.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, you know that the company has an early meeting at eight o¡¯clock in the morning, yet you¡¯re late. Aren¡¯t you?


    ¡°It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re late, but you cannot scold people. How dare you insult your colleagues!


    ¡°I¡¯m too lazy to argue with a piece of trash like you. I¡¯ll write all these violations down. Just wait till your money is deducted! Hmph!¡±


    The mean man snorted coldly, using the pen in his hand to write everything down on a piece of paper.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, apologize to Xiao Li. Otherwise, your 6,000-yuan salary might not be able to withstand the deduction!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Compared to money, your dignity is nothing. Don¡¯t forget that you still have to make money to support your family!¡±


    At that moment, two male colleagues spoke with a smile. It sounded like they were putting in a good word for him, but their tone was full of mockery for Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng glanced at the two of them, then pushed the mean man away and strode inside again.


    ¡°What are you showing off for? Even a pauper can put up an act!¡± The mean man scolded him from behind.


    However, Jiang Feng ignored all of this. He didn¡¯t even want to pay attention to this kind of trash. Any more words from him would only make him vomit.


    The two people who had mocked Jiang Feng before now had a hint of pride on their faces, as if bullying a rookie was something worth showing off about.


    ¡°I really couldn¡¯t tell that this kid actually lost 10 million just because of his cowardice. It¡¯s really unbelievable.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, he squandered the demolition money that his family had just received overnight. What a prodigal son!¡±


    ¡°Now that he¡¯s living in Shanghai, how is he going to survive on a 6,000-yuan salary a month? I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s going to starve to death. Haha¡­¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s usually very frugal. I didn¡¯t expect him to squander his family¡¯s assets so quickly. Hehehe¡­¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s already so poor, yet he still dares talk back to Xiao Li. He won¡¯t have it easy from now on. He¡¯s such an idiot.¡±


    As Jiang Feng walked past, whispers continued to ring out. The news of Jiang Feng losing all his family¡¯s assets on Bitcoin had already spread throughout the company. They had only heard of this, and some people had not even seen his WeChat Moments before believing the rumors spread by others.


    Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t hear the sarcastic remarks people made behind his back, but he could guess what they said. He had known all along that they loved working tirelessly every day and gossiping. But did it even matter? He was about to leave this place. These people would probably never meet him again in their lives, so he didn¡¯t bother to explain.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, how have you been eating in the past few days? You seem a little malnourished!¡±


    ¡°I heard that your Bitcoin investment failed. Can you share your financial management experience with us? We can use it as a warning! Hahahaha¡­¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you knew how to trade. Jiang Feng, you are so amazing. Quick, tell us about it. We are all ears!¡±


    As Jiang Feng passed by, a few of the most experienced employees looked at him and mocked him with a smile. Each of them spoke in a strange manner, making many people around them laugh.


    Despite their mockery, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t stop at all and just walked straight inside. He felt sorry for these clowns. Soon, he reached his own office area.


    ¡°Hey, newcomer, you don¡¯t have any common sense, do you? Can¡¯t you see that my cup is empty? Go get me a cup of coffee.¡±


    ¡°While you¡¯re at it, get a stack of A4 paper and fill that printer. Also, don¡¯t forget to type this information out!¡±


    The grumpy voices of two old company men could be heard. These two people were famous for bullying new employees. However, they were old and their performance was good, so no one paid them any mind. As soon as they saw Jiang Feng, they directly gave him orders without any courtesy.


    However, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t say a word. When he passed by, he just glanced at the two of them coldly. He didn¡¯t care about these clowns at all.


    At that moment, the team leader slapped the document in his hand on the table. Then, he looked at Jiang Feng and said rudely, ¡°Fix it and bring it back at once. I want the correct contract in two hours!¡±


    As the team leader ordered him, Jiang Feng looked indifferent and said coldly, ¡°Find someone from the Information Department to do this. It¡¯s their job.¡±


    Changing the contract was not his job, not to mention that he was there to resign, not to work. Therefore, he did not even look at it before he walked directly to his desk.


    This also made the two old employees, who were about to lose their temper, restrain themselves. They were both shrewd people, so upon seeing that Jiang Feng had even dared to talk back to their team leader, the two of them directly gave up on the idea of bullying him.


    The team leader was immediately angered by Jiang Feng¡¯s casual reply. However, in the blink of an eye, he saw manager Zhu Hongda¡¯s signal, so he could only suppress his anger. Then, he glared at Jiang Feng from several meters away, venting a little.


    Zhu Hongda, who had been watching from the shadows, narrowed his eyes at that moment. So many people in the company had provoked Jiang Feng to see where he would draw the line. Well, the kid could take it. However, Zhu Hongda still held a grudge and began to think of a plan to deal with him.


    ¡­


    While sitting in his seat, Jiang Feng looked indifferent. The taunts and remarks he had just heard had not caught his attention at all, let alone hurt him. He really didn¡¯t care. Sitting at his desk, Jiang Feng turned on the company¡¯s computer, created a new Word file, and got ready to write his resignation letter.


    Suddenly, the ethereal system¡¯s voice spoke in his mind.


    [Ding! A special event has occurred. The Divine-Grade Choice System has been activated.]


    [Choice 1: Write your resignation letter and leave the company.]


    [Reward: This month¡¯s salary will be doubled!]


    [Option 2: The company has encountered an unprecedented crisis. It urgently needs people to take over, so go look for the boss and purchase the company.]


    [Reward: Pork Inc. will begin to thrive in a week!]

 Chapter 28

    Jiang Feng was a little confused when he heard the system¡¯s voice. Buy a company? What kind of mission was this?! Although this company wasn¡¯t big, if he wanted to buy it, he would need at least a billion dollars! The amount of money needed was indeed a lot, and right now, he only had limited money in his hands. How could he buy it?


    The system¡¯s options confused Jiang Feng, who had no idea what kind of unprecedented crisis the company had encountered. There wasn¡¯t even any news of it. But since the system had said so, this definitely could be done.


    Suppressing his thoughts, Jiang Feng immediately chose the second option. Then, he stood up and walked to the president¡¯s office. His colleagues, who had gotten to work, were all very curious when they saw Jiang Feng¡¯s baffling actions.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with this kid now?¡±


    ¡°It looks like he¡¯s going to the boss¡¯s office. Is there something wrong with him?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s acting beyond his authority. He¡¯s just asking to be scolded!¡±


    ¡°This newbie really has no common sense. Serves him right. Who cares?¡±


    Many people whispered behind Jiang Feng¡¯s back, but Jiang Feng ignored the strange gazes of these ants and quickly walked toward the president¡¯s office with large strides.


    Bang, bang, bang! When he reached the door, Jiang Feng knocked politely first. After all, he was there to discuss business this time. He didn¡¯t have a grudge against the boss, so he had to treat him with respect.


    Meanwhile, in the office, Zhang Qidong, who had been about to jump off the building, was interrupted by Jiang Feng¡¯s knock on the door. Upon hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Qidong sighed and retracted his leg. Thinking of the nearly 100 employees of the company, he felt a little sorry. After all, once he was gone, they wouldn¡¯t get a single cent of their wages. The entire company had gone bankrupt, and many of the old employees in the company might face the plight of unemployment.


    Shaking his head, Zhang Qidong turned around and sat back in the boss¡¯s chair. At the same time, he took out his phone and turned on Douyin, checking the live broadcast of the national football match. He pretended to watch the match and let the person who had knocked in.


    Jiang Feng did not hesitate. He opened the door and walked straight in. Zhang Qidong looked up and saw that the person who had come in was not the manager, but a new employee. He said perfunctorily, ¡°What do you want?¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at Zhang Qidong, who was in a bad state. Then, he sat on the couch opposite him and said indifferently, ¡°I¡¯m here to buy the company!¡±


    He was not a slow-witted person, so he directly started the purpose of his visit.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Qidong, who was sitting in the boss¡¯s chair, was still looking at his phone. The match was about to end, and he did not want to talk to this insignificant employee.


    Jiang Feng was very young, so even though the company had gone bankrupt, he could still find a job easily.


    ¡°Good job!


    ¡°What a pity!¡±


    Zhang Qidong was still clenching his fists and pretending to watch the game seriously. He shook his head as if he was really annoyed.


    ¡°This game is too bad!¡± As he was pretending, though, his mind suddenly reacted.


    ¡°Huh? What? What did you say?¡± He suddenly looked up from the phone and looked at Jiang Feng with a puzzled face. Buy the company? He wondered if he had misheard him just now.


    ¡°I want to buy your company!¡± Jiang Feng, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Zhang Qidong calmly and repeated himself.


    As soon as he said this, the doubt on Zhang Qidong¡¯s face became even stronger. This time, he had heard him clearly. However, he immediately laughed and stared at Jiang Feng as he asked, ¡°You?!¡±


    A young employee had said this to him? Even if he wanted to sell the company at a low price now, no one would take over. Given the investment he had made, he couldn¡¯t possibly even have 100 million. He thought Jiang Feng had heard something and knew he was about to go bankrupt. But even so, he didn¡¯t think Jiang Feng could buy the company.


    ¡°Yes, me!¡± Jiang Feng said calmly in the face of Zhang Qidong¡¯s doubts.


    ¡°You? On what basis?¡± Zhang Qidong asked again with a smile, shaking his head.


    At that moment, the phone in his hand suddenly began ringing loudly. The sound was actually the explosion of the audience of the live broadcast. The match had ended, and the national football team had lost, so the crowd was roaring. Zhang Qidong subconsciously lowered his head to take a look. When he saw the 1:5 score above, Zhang Qidong was dumbfounded. The day before the match, he had bet on the national football team¡¯s victory, so he had not expected this result.


    ¡°F*ck! That really stinks!¡± Zhang Qidong threw the phone on the table, feeling inexplicably annoyed. ¡°Why is everything going so f*cking bad?!¡±


    Upon seeing Zhang Qidong¡¯s moody look, Jiang Feng knew that his heart was in turmoil. He also knew that the system was right. The company had encountered a crisis! Otherwise, Zhang Qidong, who was such a steady person, would not currently be so fickle. He had also heard about the situation on the phone.


    ¡°On what basis? Based on what you are listening to now!¡± The corner of his mouth formed a trace of a smile as he calmly answered Zhang Qidong¡¯s question.


    But when he heard Jiang Feng¡¯s words, Zhang Qidong¡¯s face was filled with impatience. He felt that Jiang Feng was baffled, so he waved his hand repeatedly and said, ¡°Quick, get out and get to work!¡±


    Seeing Zhang Qidong¡¯s expression, Jiang Feng stood up. He took his own lottery ticket out of his pocket and slapped it in front of his eyes.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s action made Zhang Qidong feel curious. He glanced at Jiang Feng and then looked down at his lottery ticket.


    ¡°National football team vs. Syria¡ª1:5 (100 odds)¡±


    As he checked the score, Zhang Qidong looked a little surprised. Then, his eyes moved down.


    ¡°Bet: one million dollars!¡± When he saw this, he still didn¡¯t think much of it. He just raised his head and looked at Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Kid¡­¡±


    He was about to tell Jiang Feng to get lost, when he forcefully swallowed his words. At the same time, his pupils widened, and he was suddenly stunned. His face was now full of disbelief.


    ¡°100,000,000!¡±

 Chapter 29

    Because of what had just happened and the recent rumors, everyone in the company hall was very interested in Jiang Feng. Even though some of them were not familiar with this newcomer, who had only been there for half a year, this did not affect them at all. They still ridiculed and insulted Jiang Feng behind his back.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t understand. What¡¯s in this kid¡¯s head? He actually dared to invest in Bitcoin?!¡±


    ¡°Investing in the financial industry is so hard, and he¡¯s just a guy who¡¯s still wet behind the ears. What a joke!¡±


    ¡°Haha, maybe he wanted to gamble on turning a bicycle into a motorcycle. Unfortunately, he lost everything this time.¡±


    ¡°He even went to the boss¡¯s office now. He¡¯s really asking for it. It¡¯s hilarious!¡±


    Many colleagues were discussing in low voices at their work stations. Their eyes were filled with mockery, and they kept treating Jiang Feng¡¯s ¡°scandal¡± as a joke! In the back of the company, a few managers were sitting at their work stations, smoking cigarettes and chatting idly. How could boring work be compared to gossiping?


    ¡°Old Zhu, this kid went directly to the boss without looking for you today. He overstepped his authority. The boss must scold him to death!¡± One of the managers glanced at Zhu Hongda beside him and spoke with a smile.


    ¡°Hehe, this kind of trash deserves to be scolded. He deserves to be scolded really badly,¡± Zhu Hongda said with a sneer.


    ¡°The kid¡¯s investment failed. Could he have gone to borrow money from the boss? He hasn¡¯t come out yet.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, he is so fair and clean. Don¡¯t tell me he went there to sell his butt. That¡¯s so funny.¡±


    ¡°Hahahaha, be careful, kid, or you¡¯ll get beaten up by Brother Dong If you talk nonsense!¡±


    The few of them chatted and laughed. They didn¡¯t take Jiang Feng seriously at all. In the entire company, most people scoffed at Jiang Feng. Many people were looking forward to Jiang Feng¡¯s miserable end and wanted to see him get scolded and kicked out of the office by the boss. They even wanted Jiang Feng to be directly fired so that the company would gain a competitive edge! Many people were chatting and working while glancing at the boss¡¯ office from time to time.


    ¡­


    In the manager¡¯s office, Zhu Hongda sat and chatted with several other managers without really saying much. Meanwhile, his mind was brewing with thoughts of how to get back at Jiang Feng. Last night at the hotel, he had wanted to say a lot of things and stand up for Yu Jia, but Jiang Feng had actually privately insulted him and completely exploded.


    This morning, he had come over with a grudge and had directly humiliated Jiang Feng in front of everyone. He had said how embarrassing the failure of his investment had been, including all kinds of insults and taunts. Finally, he¡¯d even hinted that everyone was targeting Jiang Feng, making it impossible for him to survive in this company. That was why everyone had made a scene when Jiang Feng had gone to work in the morning.


    These colleagues of his had completely revealed their dark side today, which made Zhu Hongda quite happy. But this was far from enough. He still had to properly punish Jiang Feng to vent his anger. If his boss fired him today, it would be fine. But if he didn¡¯t, he would suffer!


    As Zhu Hongda thought, his gaze turned to the boss¡¯ office, and the corners of his mouth couldn¡¯t help curling up into a sneer. However, he had also felt something unusual in the past few days. His boss, Zhang Qidong, was probably in some kind of trouble. He had been silent lately and busy with private matters, but he was actually quite happy. After all, Zhang Qidong was upset. If Jiang Feng went in now, he would be courting death!


    ¡­


    At the same time, in the CEO¡¯s office, the situation was completely different from what everyone outside thought. Zhang Qidong greeted Jiang Feng with a smile on his face.


    ¡°Brother Jiang, come, have a cup of tea. This is my most treasured brew. Try it, it will definitely taste good!¡± His originally haggard expression was now full of smiles.


    He, a man who had always idled around and enjoyed himself, was now keeping busy in the office. He poured tea for Jiang Feng, who was sitting on the boss¡¯ chair, and was extremely attentive! If finance director Song Yaozhong were to see this scene, he would definitely be completely stunned. He had been with Zhang Qidong for so many years, but he had never seen Zhang Qidong serve anyone so well!


    ¡°Brother Jiang, do you smoke? This is an out-of-print Marlboro I brought from my travels.¡± Zhang Qidong had just put down the tea when he immediately took out a pack of white cigarettes from under the table and spoke to Jiang Feng with a smile. At the same time, he took a lighter out of his pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Feng. This kind of attentiveness seemed to be a little flattering. However, he was afraid that he would not be able to entertain Jiang Feng properly and would cause Jiang Feng to stand up and leave.


    Jiang Feng looked at the busy Zhang Qidong and waved his hand to stop him. He did not care about these things at all. He had come to discuss business, not to drink tea and smoke.


    Upon seeing Jiang Feng like this, Zhang Qidong changed his mind in a second. He immediately stopped and looked at Jiang Feng with a serious face.


    ¡°President Zhang, what else do you have to say about selling the company?¡± Jiang Feng said slowly after he took a sip of tea.


    Just now, he had already explained everything to Zhang Qidong. Therefore, he was now prepared to buy the company. Zhang Qidong had just become extremely attentive and started treating Jiang Feng as his savior!


    The moment he heard Jiang Feng¡¯s question, his expression became solemn. After stroking his chin and thinking for a few seconds, a look of determination filled his eyes. Then, he looked at Jiang Feng and said, ¡°Brother Jiang, to be honest, I am very grateful that you want to take over the company at this time.


    ¡°I have also explained the debt and investment process to you clearly. Since you are willing to take this risk, then what I want to say is very simple!


    ¡°As long as I can deal with the bankruptcy of the company, I don¡¯t want anything. All the shares will be yours!


    ¡°As long as I can leave cleanly and safely, I¡¯ll be satisfied to see the debt go!¡± Zhang Qidong said, the sincerity in his eyes obvious. All these years, he had accumulated some savings, all under his wife¡¯s name, just in case. He had bought a house and a car for his family, which also served as a backup plan for his retirement.


    Although he couldn¡¯t give up this company that he had spent more than ten years to build, given the circumstances, it was already great that he could leave in one piece! He didn¡¯t want to be greedy and ask for anything else! Transferring 100% of the shares and debt to Jiang Feng was his best option! He just said that he would draw up a temporary contract!

 Chapter 30

    Zhang Qidong laid out the contract in front of Jiang Feng, who looked at it seriously. After all, the transfer contract involved Jiang Feng¡¯s 100 million worth of assets. He couldn¡¯t be careless about it. Besides, Zhang Qidong was an old fox who had been in the financial industry for many years. If he messed with the contract, Jiang Feng would be in trouble if he wasn¡¯t careful. That would be a double loss, and Jiang Feng would never do such a thing, so he had to be careful.


    Jiang Feng flipped through every page and every line of the contract very carefully. He had read a lot of contracts back in school, so he had a lot of knowledge in this field. Although he couldn¡¯t compare to professional lawyers, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be deceived.


    After checking it, Jiang Feng nodded his head in satisfaction. There was nothing fishy about the contract, and Zhang Qidong had written down a lot of key information clearly. While he was checking it, he also explained to Jiang Feng the terms one by one, which increased Jiang Feng¡¯s favorable impression of Zhang Qidong. Although he had never had many dealings with this boss, he could tell that he was an honest man. At least, he was very sincere about this deal and he wasn¡¯t playing any tricks!


    ¡°Brother Jiang, what do you think?¡± Zhang Qidong asked quickly as Jiang Feng read the entire contract.


    Jiang Feng glanced at Zhang Qidong but didn¡¯t answer him immediately. He was wondering whether or not he should follow up with the company. After all, signing the contract and stamping it was very simple. In just a few seconds, the company would be his. However, the operation and development of the subsequent company would not be so simple, which was precisely Jiang Feng¡¯s weakness at the moment.


    The operation of a company was quite complicated, not to mention that this was a company that had been developing for more than ten years. It would be a big problem if Jiang Feng started to manage it in the blink of an eye. Plus, this was not Jiang Feng¡¯s only goal. He did not want to be stuck here, so he had to find someone to manage the company for him.


    At that moment, his gaze naturally fell on Zhang Qidong. After all, he was the one who had founded the company, so it would naturally be best to have him stay in charge of it. This way, not only would the company be able to operate normally, but he could also be a hands-off boss. That would be simply wonderful.


    Upon thinking of this, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t help but think of Zhang Qidong again. On his first day at the company, he¡¯d had to learn all about the company¡¯s development and regulations. Jiang Feng could still remember a lot of information.


    Cinda Financial had been founded 15 years ago by Zhang Qidong, who had invested all his savings in it when he was 30 years old. After working for 10 years, he had taken the 100,000 yuan he had saved and started the business. It could be said that he had started from scratch by relying on his own hard work.


    During these 10 years, Zhang Qidong had led the company and encountered many investment opportunities. However, he had also experienced many crises and setbacks, including two close calls when he had almost caused the company to go bankrupt! However, Zhang Qidong¡¯s ability and foresight, as well as his determination, were indeed solid. He had managed to turn the tide many times in a row, and it was precisely because of his exceptional courage and foresight that he had been able to fight his way out of many bad situations. Today, Cinda was located in Shanghai and had developed so much that it had over 100 million worth of production value.


    Even now, Jiang Feng really thought that he was amazing. He was the only shareholder of the company who had power and he never let other people interfere. He made all the major decisions regarding the company on his own and was definitely the most capable among the countless other shareholders. Most importantly, he was a good, honest man. Otherwise, how could he know so many people who were willing to lend him money? It was precisely because of these connections that he had been able to hold on until now, and these were all things that the company needed very much.


    Once Zhang Qidong left, the company¡¯s connections would disappear with him. If Jiang Feng were to slowly accumulate them again, it would be really troublesome. Jiang Feng held his forehead and thought carefully. After taking into account all the circumstances and factors at play, he still felt that Zhang Qidong should stay. With someone like him, who knew how to run the company, as a leader, it would definitely all go well! Once he was certain, Jiang Feng raised his head.


    Zhang Qidong looked at Jiang Feng with some fear in his eyes. At this moment, Jiang Feng lowered his head, lost deep in thought. It made him a little nervous, as he was afraid that Jiang Feng would not accept the offer. Thus, when Jiang Feng raised his head, his heart tightened.


    ¡°Brother Jiang, have you thought about it? This offer is really sincere!


    ¡°It¡¯s been more than ten years. It¡¯s impossible to say that there are no feelings involved, but I really can¡¯t do anything else today. Brother Jiang, help me!¡±


    Zhang Qidong looked at Jiang Feng, whose expression was so calm that no emotions could be seen, and addressed him sincerely.


    Jiang Feng looked at his bloodshot eyes, which were as black as a panda¡¯s. He then nodded and said slowly, ¡°Everything else is fine, but the transfer of the shares is definitely not feasible.¡±


    As soon as he said that, Zhang Qidong¡¯s heart suddenly tightened. His expression was even more stunned. He thought that Jiang Feng wanted to use his predicament to cause him trouble.


    Zhang Qidong frowned and looked at Jiang Feng. ¡°Brother Jiang, what other conditions do you have? Just tell me.¡±


    There was a hint of determination in his tone. If they did not come to an agreement today, he was afraid that he would have to kill himself!


    Looking at Zhang Qidong¡¯s expression, Jiang Feng smiled calmly. ¡°President Zhang, it¡¯s been more than ten years. Humans are not like grass and trees. I can see that you have deep feelings for the company you created!


    ¡°I do have a suggestion that will allow us both to benefit and will be good for the development of the company!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qidong¡¯s tense expression relaxed. At the same time, Jiang Feng¡¯s words made him extremely curious.


    This was the best solution. What other way could there be for them to benefit from each other? He pondered it for a moment but still could not guess what Jiang Feng wanted to say. He could only look at Jiang Feng with a puzzled expression. ¡°Brother Jiang, if you have any suggestions, just tell me. As long as it makes sense, I will have no problem with it!¡±


    When he said this, Jiang Feng felt relieved.


    ¡°My suggestion is very simple. I will only buy 90% of the company¡¯s shares. The other 10% will still belong to you!


    ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t give it to you for free. After the company is transferred to me, I want you to continue to be president and remain responsible for the company¡¯s operation and development. All the daily affairs will still be handed over to you.


    ¡°However, all the investment projects that exceed a certain amount will have to be approved by me before they can be implemented!


    ¡°So, what do you think of my proposal?¡± Jiang Feng said in an extremely indifferent tone, clearly stating his thoughts.


    Zhang Qidong, who was standing by the desk and listening carefully, was completely stunned when he heard what Jiang Feng had said. His mouth was wide open, but he was so excited that he couldn¡¯t even say a word. He was shocked! He was completely shocked by Jiang Feng¡¯s offer!

 Chapter 31

    Jiang Feng¡¯s proposal had exceeded his wildest fantasies. He was an entrepreneur and the boss of a company, so he had been involved in finance and investments for many years. He knew very well that there were few people with a conscience in this industry. People in finance wanted to take all the money in everyone¡¯s pockets, and anyone who could take money from him would never let go of a single cent!


    Jiang Feng had actually suggested giving him 10% of the company¡¯s shares! What kind of behavior was this? This move made him feel extremely shocked and puzzled. Although this company wasn¡¯t big, 10% of the shares were worth at least tens of millions. And now, Jiang Feng had just handed the shares to him.


    Even though Jiang Feng had proposed to let him stay, he still couldn¡¯t understand. After all, even if Jiang Feng didn¡¯t give him a single cent and still asked him to continue working there, he would be willing to sign the contract. Given his current predicament, Jiang Feng couldn¡¯t ask for too much! If a blood-sucking capitalist came to buy the company, they would even take away most of his property, and he would have to silently agree to this unreasonable proposal. Right now, he had no room for maneuvers at all!


    But Jiang Feng did not do that. Instead, he gave him the right to continue being the president of the company and even offered him 10% of the shares. This shocked him greatly, as it was simply free profit for him!


    ¡°Alright, Brother Jiang. I agree!¡±


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s face was full of excitement. Without any hesitation, he decisively agreed to Jiang Feng¡¯s proposal and then immediately corrected the contract so they could finally sign it!


    When the two of them signed the contract, Cinda¡¯s high-level structure was completely changed. Jiang Feng used to be a small employee with a monthly salary of 6,000. At the moment, he was holding 90% of the company¡¯s equity, which made him the company¡¯s big boss. Meanwhile, Zhang Qidong, who had been in charge of the company for more than 10 years, now became Jiang Feng¡¯s employee!


    This dramatic change had occurred too quickly and was too shocking! As he looked at the contract, Zhang Qidong had mixed feelings in his heart. Jiang Feng, on the other hand, still had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he was not very excited about this.


    Holding the contract, Jiang Feng sat on the chair, his eyes staring ahead, as though he was a little absent-minded. That was because the system¡¯s voice had suddenly spoken in his mind.


    [Ding! Congratulations for successfully acquiring the company. You have received your reward!]


    Upon looking at the reward in his mind, Jiang Feng immediately used it. Then, a complete live map appeared in front of him. After taking over the company, the most important thing was investing in Zhang Qidong. At that moment, Jiang Feng was staring at the trend chart and checking the situation. He wanted to see what kind of decision he had to make regarding this investment.


    Zhang Qidong, who was standing beside the desk, looked at Jiang Feng, who was leaning on the chair in a daze. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. Jiang Feng had only been working for his company for a little over half a year. He was one of the employees he had personally interviewed, and he still remembered his impression of him. He had thought that he was just a good student and employee, but he had never thought that he would actually be a tycoon in the making. He had been so young, only in his early twenties, and he had just graduated from school.


    Thinking back, Zhang Qidong could not help laughing at himself. At the time, Jiang Feng had started working for the company. After half a year, he had been very excited to receive a few hundred yuan as a bonus. Jiang Feng, who was now sitting there, had bought the company for 100 million yuan, yet he was still so calm. Even now, he should still be thrilled about doing such a thing!


    ¡®I really don¡¯t know which family this young man is from. His courage and foresight are extraordinary!¡¯ Zhang Qidong sighed, speculating about Jiang Feng¡¯s background in his mind.


    If it was not for today¡¯s incident, he might never have known that such a genius was hiding in his company. This position had been his for more than ten years, but now it belonged to someone else. His feelings were extremely complicated. In the past, he had owned 100% of the shares of the company, and everything had been up to him. Jiang Feng had been just an employee who obeyed his orders. As long as he was told something, Jiang Feng would have to do it.


    But now, the person sitting in this chair was not his employee, a young man over 20 years younger than him. Instead, Zhang Qidong had become an employee who had to obey his orders. As long as Jiang Feng ordered him to do something, he would have to do it! This huge difference made him sigh. But even so, his heart was still full of respect and gratitude for Jiang Feng. After all, Jiang Feng had saved him. He had been standing by the window, ready to jump down, before Jiang Feng had rescued him.


    As Zhang Qidong thought about it, his gaze moved to the window again. When he looked at the window, a shadow appeared in his heart. He had started this business more than ten years ago. In the end, his success and failure had come down to pork! 15 years ago, he had invested in a wholesale pork business for the first time. It had earned him his first bucket of gold and opened a pathway to heaven for him. 15 years later, he had invested in pork again. He had thought he had studied it thoroughly enough, but in the end, his investment had failed.


    Even now, he still felt that his analysis was right. He believed that the price of pork would definitely rise, but the truth had left him speechless anyway. In the past few days, he had invested tens of millions of dollars, but in the end, he hadn¡¯t made a profit. This time, he could only admit that he had made the wrong choice.


    Reality had slapped him so hard that it had nearly killed him! The despair he had felt while standing by the window was still present in his eyes. If Jiang Feng had come a minute later, he would probably have made the afternoon news headlines in Shanghai. Jiang Feng had saved him and given him a chance to stay in his position. Zhang Qidong understood that Jiang Feng wanted to be a hands-off boss. By having him take over, Jiang Feng could continue to do his own thing and move on to bigger things. Zhang Qidong understood all this.


    But at the same time, he also understood that Jiang Feng was giving him 10% of the shares because he trusted him. Zhang Qidong truly felt that he was a courageous, farsighted person. Besides, he was not heartless. Since Jiang Feng had chosen to believe in him, he would definitely take the company¡¯s development more seriously in the future. Although he only had 10% of the shares, he still had to run a bigger and better company for Jiang Feng. Because, in his opinion, this was the best way to repay Jiang Feng for saving his life! As Zhang Qidong thought about it, he silently took an oath in his heart.


    ¡­


    While both of them were lost deep in thought, suddenly, there was an urgent knock on the door.


    ¡°Director Zhang!¡±


    Jiang Feng heard the voice and realized the person outside the door was financial director Song Yaozhong.

 Chapter 32

    After Jiang Feng finished looking at the live map, he had an idea. However, he was interrupted by the knock on the door. His face was full of confidence, as this time, he was going to make a fortune! Zhang Qidong, who had heard the knock on the door, knew that it was Song Yaozhong, so he quickly turned his head to look at Jiang Feng.


    When he saw Jiang Feng nod, he went forward and opened the door. In the past, he would have never opened the door by himself. But now, Jiang Feng was the boss, and he was the employee.


    As soon as the door opened, Song Yaozhong rushed in. He was extremely anxious, as the company was at a critical juncture. However, when he entered and saw that Zhang Qidong had opened the door for him, he couldn¡¯t help looking a little surprised. When he raised his head and saw Jiang Feng sitting in the boss¡¯ chair, he immediately stood rooted to the spot in shock.


    What was going on?! 10,000 question marks appeared in his mind, but he couldn¡¯t figure this out no matter how hard he thought. As a treasurer, he had met Jiang Feng over the past six months. But in his eyes, Jiang Feng was just a small employee with a monthly salary of 6,000. Why was he sitting in the chair of his boss, Zhang Qidong? He was dumbfounded.


    Besides, when he had arrived at the company, he had heard many of his colleagues outside discussing Jiang Feng. Everyone was saying that Jiang Feng was trash, and all of them looked down on him with derision. He was so anxious, though, that he had not cared about this gossip. The company was about to be ruined, so how could he care about such a thing? However, when he walked into the boss¡¯ office and saw the scene, the doubts in his mind instantly piled up.


    He turned his head and looked at Zhang Qidong, who stood aside like an assistant. Song Yaozhong was about to ask him about it, but Zhang Qidong closed the door first. His expression changed, and he instantly became serious.


    ¡°If you have something to say, say it. If you know you shouldn¡¯t ask, don¡¯t ask!


    ¡°You¡¯re a financial director. Just do your job!¡±


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s voice was very serious, which confused Song Yaozhong even more. He didn¡¯t understand what was going on. But since Zhang Qidong had spoken, he didn¡¯t ask any questions. The situation was urgent after all. He didn¡¯t have time to understand everything. He shook his head, looked at Zhang Qidong, and quickly said, ¡°Director Zhang, we¡¯ll immediately¡­¡±


    However, the moment he said that, Zhang Qidong immediately moved to the side. At the same time, he moved his shoulder and turned to face Jiang Feng. ¡°Report to Director Jiang if there¡¯s anything you want to say.¡±


    When his words reached Song Yaozhong¡¯s ears, they confused and shocked him even more. Why would he call Jiang Feng ¡°Director Jiang¡±? What was wrong with Zhang Qidong? What exactly had happened in such a short time?


    Song Yaozhong had even more questions on his mind. Then, he naturally looked at Jiang Feng. His calm and confident face shocked Song Yaozhong. Jiang Feng was a different person. He didn¡¯t look like an employee anymore. Instead, he looked like a big boss! He looked like he was in his twenties, but his pitch-black gaze was even steadier than before. Thinking about Zhang Qidong¡¯s words just now, he vaguely guessed something.


    But at the moment, he couldn¡¯t think about it carefully. The top priority in his mind was the investment. Thus, he looked at Jiang Feng and quickly said, ¡°Director Jiang, Director Zhang, I¡¯ve already invested my last pension!


    ¡°That 500,000 yuan only lasted half an hour. Now, there¡¯s no more money in the account!


    ¡°The agency has already called several times to push us!


    ¡°According to the current declining trend of the market, the price of pork will soon fall below 12 yuan!


    ¡°According to my calculations, we only have about 10 minutes left!


    ¡°If there are no new funds, the agency¡­ will shut us down!¡±


    Song Yaozhong¡¯s voice was a little shaky. His gaze swept over Jiang Feng and Zhang Qidong, and his expression became sorrowful.


    ¡°In 10 minutes, the company will be¡­ finished!¡±


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s expression turned ugly when he heard that. His gaze landed on Jiang Feng with some worry. After all, this investment had been made by him alone and had caused the company to go through a crisis. Now that Jiang Feng had bought the company, the debt would fall on him. He had sold the shares, which made him feel a little uneasy. He felt that this was a bit of a trap for Jiang Feng!


    However, Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the boss¡¯ chair, did not react after hearing all this. He was completely different from the two other men, who were panicking. Instead, he was very confident. After finding out that there were only ten minutes left, Jiang Feng did not hesitate at all. He took a card out of his wallet and threw it directly on the table in front of Song Yaozhong.


    ¡°There¡¯s 100 million in there. Take it and use it immediately!¡± His voice was indifferent, and he spoke as though this 100 million was nothing.


    Zhang Qidong looked at the bank card that Jiang Feng had thrown over, feeling even more amazed and curious about Jiang Feng¡¯s background. After all, even he couldn¡¯t casually take out 100 million just like that.


    Meanwhile, Song Yaozhong, who had originally been sweating profusely from panic, looked at Jiang Feng, who had casually thrown the card in front of him, feeling completely dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the spot, his mouth wide open, unable to say a word!

 Chapter 33

    Song Yaozhong looked at the card Jiang Feng had thrown at him and gulped. He couldn¡¯t believe that this ordinary card contained the huge sum of 100 million yuan! After all, this was not the Jiang Feng he knew. He couldn¡¯t believe that Jiang Feng had so much money. If he had so much money, he wouldn¡¯t need to work for their company. Making 6,000 yuan a month would be a waste of his time!


    He raised his head in shock and was about to ask about it to dispel the doubts in his heart. However, Zhang Qidong, who was standing aside, stepped forward and stuffed the bank card into his hand. ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!¡±


    There were only ten minutes left, and Zhang Qidong was much more anxious than Song Yaozhong. Song Yaozhong held back the questions he wanted to ask.


    ¡°Ah! Oh, right, I will!¡±


    At the same time, he realized that his words were incoherent and nodded repeatedly in agreement. As he looked at Jiang Feng, the doubts in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Previously, he had heard everyone say that Jiang Feng had lost 10 million yuan, which had been all his assets. But now, it seemed that everything was different.


    Jiang Feng was calm and seemed to be at ease, and his pitch-black eyes were unreadable. Besides, he was sitting in the boss¡¯ chair. How was he a prodigal son? However, the situation was urgent, and there was no time for him to think too much about it.


    Holding the bank card, Song Yaozhong immediately turned around and ran to the door. He wanted to do his job immediately. With 100 million yuan, they would definitely be able to survive.


    However, just as he ran to the door, Jiang Feng¡¯s voice was heard behind him. ¡°Director Song, wait.¡±


    Hearing the voice behind him, Song Yaozhong stopped in his tracks and looked back with a puzzled expression. ¡°Jiang¡­ Director Jiang, is there anything else you want to tell me?¡±


    ¡°To do this, you only need to take one million. The rest of the money will be spent on the pork investment.


    ¡°Also, all the money invested will be leveraged up to ten times maximum!¡± Jiang Feng said casually with a cup of tea in his hand.


    As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were both stunned on the spot. They looked at each other before their eyes fell on Jiang Feng. They were dumbfounded when they saw Jiang Feng drinking tea calmly!


    In the past few days, the two of them had been watching the market trends day and night. The price of pork had plummeted, falling from 19 yuan to 12 yuan! They had paid tens of millions of yuan, but they still hadn¡¯t gained anything. Now that they finally had Jiang Feng¡¯s 100 million yuan, they could hold on for a little longer and perhaps get through it successfully. Unfortunately, Jiang Feng had only told him to take out one million yuan.


    If he invested one million yuan, it would at most last a bit more than an hour. Then, the market would close. Not to mention that Jiang Feng still had to invest the remaining 99 million yuan and increase the leverage 10 times! He wouldn¡¯t be able to hold on for five minutes with one million yuan. As long as the price fell slightly, all the investments would be gone instantly! The money that he had just taken out would evaporate completely in the blink of an eye.


    Both of them looked at Jiang Feng with fear in their hearts. They didn¡¯t understand what Jiang Feng was thinking. How could he make such a reckless and blind investment? The two of them broke out in a cold sweat. They were stunned by Jiang Feng for a moment, so much so that they couldn¡¯t even speak.


    Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the boss¡¯ chair drinking tea, already knew this. He wouldn¡¯t do anything to lose money. Just now, he had already seen the current position of the company and the trend of pork prices. Combined with this information, he had carefully calculated everything.


    He had invested 100 million, so using one million to cover their position was more than enough. After a few minutes, when the stock market price was greater than 10,000, the price of pork would be affected and would begin to rise against the trend. Then, it would experience the biggest surge it had in almost two years. If he didn¡¯t increase his leverage, he would be losing money. This wave would not only bring back all the losses that Zhang Qidong had suffered previously, but he could also use his 100 million to make a huge profit.


    According to Jiang Feng¡¯s calculations, he could make at least one billion this time. He hadn¡¯t studied finance for nothing. He could calculate this roughly in his mind. While he was sitting, he looked like he wasn¡¯t doing anything, but in fact, he had already calculated everything. This time, he had been presented with an investment opportunity that was hard to come by. Jiang Feng would definitely not let it go. If he didn¡¯t earn one billion, it would be a waste of his talent!


    The two men were stunned for a long time before they finally came back to their senses. Zhang Qidong started panicking. He took a few steps forward and said, ¡°Director Jiang, the trend is so obvious now. Isn¡¯t it too risky to add leverage to the investment?¡±


    He knew that he was no longer the boss, but an employee of Jiang Feng. Therefore, he was very polite when he spoke to Jiang Feng. Even his wording was very careful. Song Yaozhong was also very worried. Although he was in a humble position, he still took two steps forward and reminded Jiang Feng in a trembling voice, ¡°If you invest 99 million in one go and add ten times the leverage, that will be 990 million!


    ¡°I only have one million to cover our position. My job is too hard. I¡¯m afraid I can only hold on for five minutes!


    ¡°No, it might not even be five minutes. Four minutes at most!¡±


    As he spoke, he could not help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt. Although this investment had nothing to do with him, he did not want anything to happen to the company. 100 million was definitely not a small amount of money. The rise and fall of the company depended on it, so he could not just do nothing.


    As he heard the men¡¯s words, Jiang Feng¡¯s lips curled into a smile. His calculations were absolutely correct. After all, there was a reward system in place. However, their words made Jiang Feng nod silently. Although Zhang Qidong no longer had any power and was not the boss here, he still cared about the company.


    As the financial director, Song Yaozhong was even more responsible. Even though he could see that the company was about to go bankrupt, he had still been willing to use his insignificant pension money to continue supporting the company. 500,000 was not much. In fact, investing it would not even buy them half an hour. But that was definitely hard-earned money that Song Yaozhong had accumulated for decades. Since he had contributed it to the company like this, come forward, and told the truth, he was a very good man. Although there were many people at this company who were total trash, as long as those in power and in charge of the money were good, everything would be fine.


    Looking at the two of them, Jiang Feng waved his hand and smiled. ¡°I know, but the money is mine. You just have to do as I say.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s voice was not loud, but there was a trace of dignity in it that was quite heavy. When Song Yaozhong heard this, his expression turned ugly and his heart felt quite perturbed. He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qidong. Seeing that he did not say anything to stop him, he could only nod. Then, he took the card and ran out of the office quickly, heading straight for the Finance Department.


    ¡­


    After watching Song Yaozhong leave, Zhang Qidong closed the door again. He turned around and looked at Jiang Feng, his face full of worry as he sighed in his heart. After all, Jiang Feng was still too young, and this was a full 100 million. If he only spent the bare minimum, then he would fall below the support level of 11 yuan. Then, when the time came, he would take the money and slowly move it around and this investment would come back to life.


    As long as he was a little more cautious, he would definitely make 80% certain that he would not lose money, even if he did not make money. However, Jiang Feng had invested a huge sum of 100 million just like that. He had even increased the leverage 10 times! No matter how rich he was, he couldn¡¯t just risk it all like that! Based on this recent downward trend, he could already predict what was going to happen next. In less than half an hour, Old Song would run over to report the news of the liquidation. Then, everything would be over!


    Upon thinking of this, Zhang Qidong became even more anxious and started pacing back and forth in the office. But what he didn¡¯t know was that what was about to happen next would defy his understanding!

 Chapter 34

    Zhang Qidong was anxious and restless. After thinking for a long time, he turned around and walked over to Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Director Jiang! I studied the investment into pork carefully before I proceeded. I analyzed every K-line chart and the recent wind gap in the market very carefully!


    ¡°I even spent a few days to completely confirm that the price of the pork would definitely rise. Only then did I take all of the company¡¯s assets and risk everything!


    ¡°But in just a few days, reality slapped me hard. There is no market for pork at all!


    ¡°According to this downward trend, the 12-yuan mark will not stop there. Only the 11-yuan support mark could slow down a little.


    ¡°Although I still feel that my analysis is correct, the facts are right here.


    ¡°I reckon that many people want to take this opportunity, but they have all miscalculated. We have all been deceived!


    ¡°Everyone has neglected the country at the top. That country will not sit idly by. So this time, our country must not allow the price of pork to rise, which is why this situation has occurred!


    ¡°And if you invest 100 million now, I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to survive this day!¡± Zhang Qidong said with an extremely excited expression.


    He wanted to do his best to persuade Jiang Feng. Even if this 100 million had nothing to do with him, he did not want to see Jiang Feng¡¯s money go down the drain just like that. His eyes were full of sincerity, and he hoped that Jiang Feng would stop in time.


    He knew that Old Song hadn¡¯t completed the operation yet, so there was still time. Jiang Feng could still pull back from the precipice and save the 100 million. Jiang Feng, on the other hand, was calmly drinking his tea as he listened to Zhang Qidong finish his words in one breath. Then, he looked at him unhurriedly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, trust me!¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled as he spoke, and the confidence in his tone made Zhang Qidong feel quite puzzled. He had already made the pros and cons very clear. Why did Jiang Feng still not understand? Looking at Jiang Feng, Zhang Qidong knew that he could not persuade him. He could only sigh and shut his mouth.


    ¡°Log in to your company account. I want to check it!¡± Jiang Feng glanced at the computer as he spoke to Zhang Qidong.


    Zhang Qidong did not hesitate and went ahead at once. He skillfully entered the password and logged in to the company account. Everything was displayed in front of Jiang Feng, but he didn¡¯t even look at anything else. He just tapped into the pork investment directly.


    As he looked at all the information, Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction. Song Yaozhong had already invested all the money according to his request and increased the leverage ten times. When he opened the chart and looked at the exact movements on it, Jiang Feng¡¯s heart settled down. Then, he looked at Zhang Qidong, who was walking around the office in a panic.


    Jiang Feng smiled and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m fine. Sit down and check the news!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s casual words carried a hint of mystery. The sensitive Zhang Qidong immediately noticed it. He stopped and sat on the sofa, looking at Jiang Feng with a puzzled expression. Although he didn¡¯t know what Jiang Feng¡¯s words meant, he felt that he must have done something. Upon seeing how calm and confident he was even after investing 100 million yuan, he started to have some doubts in his heart. Could he really have guessed correctly?


    This idea was rejected by Zhang Qidong as soon as it appeared in his mind. However, considering that he had won the national soccer team bet despite the low probability, his heart felt uncertain again. Zhang Qidong sat on the sofa doubtfully, took out his phone, and opened it to check the daily headlines. His heart was full of frustration, but he actually was not in the mood to refresh the news. He had opened the site to do so, but as he was scrolling through the news, a piece of news suddenly popped up and caught his attention!


    ¡°Breaking news! China has decided to suspend the import of pork!¡± Upon seeing this piece of news, Zhang Qidong clicked on it without any hesitation. A second later, the entire article appeared in front of him.


    ¡°On November 25, 2121, China¡¯s trade administration decided to stop many trade operations, including the import of raw pork¡­¡±


    As he read the message, Zhang Qidong¡¯s eyes widened and he was completely stunned! He had been working in finance for so many years, so he was extremely sensitive to such information. After reading the message, he instantly understood! He knew that, apart from state control, the price of pork was also affected by frozen meat and imported meat. But now that the country had stopped importing low-price pork, there would be even shorter supply. Once this news came out, the price of pork was bound to start soaring! But he had never thought of this. He had never expected that the country would suddenly stop importing pork!


    Zhang Qidong was shocked. Truly shocked! He raised his head to look at Jiang Feng, his eyes filled with astonishment. Jiang Feng had invested 100 million yuan in pork just now, and he had even increased his leverage to the maximum. What kind of terrifying development would follow? He could not even imagine! Zhang Qidong stared at Jiang Feng for more than half a minute before he came back to his senses. He stood up from the sofa with a crash, his entire body trembling from excitement.


    He was completely convinced. He was totally in awe of Jiang Feng! He couldn¡¯t imagine how Jiang Feng had predicted this news, nor could he imagine how Jiang Feng had calculated it all. He only needed one million to cover his bases, and it would be enough to support their future rise. He couldn¡¯t imagine where Jiang Feng had gotten the courage to gamble with 100 million either.


    ¡°Who is his family?


    ¡°How terrifying are they? They can even predict the decisions of the government!


    ¡°How did he know I was going to die today?


    ¡°How powerful is his family?¡±


    Zhang Qidong blamed it all on the family behind Jiang Feng. Other than that, he didn¡¯t know how to explain Jiang Feng¡¯s monstrous ability. He stood rooted to the ground, his mind filled with all kinds of questions. As he looked at Jiang Feng, his eyes almost dropped out of their sockets.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng sat beside the computer, completely ignoring Zhang Qidong¡¯s abnormal behavior. He had already predicted that he would react like that. While he looked at the computer, the price of pork in front of him had already started to rise. The market¡¯s movements were much faster than the news.


    At that moment, the price of pork had already started to soar. At the bottom of the chart, red lines rose one after another, and the profit figures of the company¡¯s accounts kept soaring by tens of thousands too!

 Chapter 35

    Meanwhile, Song Yaozhong had taken Jiang Feng¡¯s card and run out of the office. His mind was in a daze. What had happened in the office just now was too shocking for him. Running into the finance room, Song Yaozhong sat on a chair in a daze for a few seconds. He then couldn¡¯t help but slap himself. He still couldn¡¯t believe it.


    Jiang Feng, an employee who had worked at the company for more than half a year, was actually sitting in the boss¡¯ seat! Besides, Zhang Qidong had even called him Director Jiang and asked him to report everything to Jiang Feng! This was really unbelievable.


    ¡®Could Jiang Feng be related to Director Zhang?¡¯


    Song Yaozhong couldn¡¯t help thinking of this. Since Jiang Feng had done this, it could only mean that Zhang Qidong and Jiang Feng¡¯s relationship was not ordinary. Now was the time for desperate measures, so anything could happen!


    ¡®Could Jiang Feng be backed up by a financial group? Has he been pretending to be a pig for more than half a year so he could eat a tiger?¡¯ Upon thinking of this, Song Yaozhong felt that his guess was correct. Zhang Qidong was now completely at his wit¡¯s end. It was very likely that he had no way out, which was why he had turned to Jiang Feng for help. Or rather, Jiang Feng had taken the opportunity to take over the company and push Zhang Qidong out of his position as the boss.


    As Song Yaozhong thought about it, the scene he had witnessed just now could not help appearing in his mind. The tea that Zhang Qidong had poured for Jiang Feng had been Da Hong Pao, and the cigarette pack on the table had been an out-of-print Marlboro pack. There was also the cautious manner in which he had spoken, as well as Jiang Feng¡¯s strangely calm expression.


    ¡®I¡¯m afraid that¡¯s really the case!¡¯


    Song Yaozhong¡¯s expression was a little frightened. He was already extremely certain of his guess. All of this had exceeded his expectations, but Zhang Qidong and Jiang Feng were definitely related. Even their identities and status had changed! Upon thinking of this, Song Yaozhong paused his train of thought. He immediately picked up Jiang Feng¡¯s bank card and inserted it into the machine.


    He still had extremely urgent things to do. As the bank card was inserted into the machine, the computer immediately displayed the relevant information. Song Yaozhong entered the password provided by Jiang Feng and the balance appeared in front of his eyes in a second. As he looked at the string of zeros in it, Song Yaozhong was so shocked that his breathing became a little hurried.


    That was a whole 100 million. 100 million in cash! This was definitely a huge sum in his eyes. Even though he had to deal with more than 100 million a month, that did not stop him from being shocked! As a financial investment professional, he knew very well that 100 million was not an amount that could be easily withdrawn.


    A listed company with a stock value of more than 10 billion usually had a cash flow of only 300 to 500 million. 100 million was extremely important to them. Not to mention that a small company like theirs only had 10 million in cash, and they still had to operate like that from time to time. 100 million in cash was definitely a huge sum in their eyes.


    But when he recalled the scene he had witnessed just now, he realized that Jiang Feng¡¯s expression hadn¡¯t changed at all when he had thrown the card to him. That indifferent look of his had made it seem as if he didn¡¯t care about the 100 million at all. Upon thinking of this, Song Yaozhong was even more shocked. At the same time, he felt more and more convinced that Jiang Feng was a young master of some big family with a financial group behind him. Only someone like that would not care about 100 million or 200 million!


    While awe filled his heart, Song Yaozhong quickly opened the company account. He looked at the falling price of pork and the funds that were about to be liquidated. Without any hesitation, he immediately took a million dollars from his card. The timely replenishment allowed them to rise again. With this one million dollars, he could hold on for at least another half an hour!


    After he resolved the crisis in front of him, Song Yaozhong¡¯s gaze fell on the remaining 99 million dollars in the card. He looked at this unbelievable amount of money, then at the price of pork, which continued to fall, and hesitated. Jiang Feng had ordered him to put all his money into pork and then increase the leverage ten times. But given the situation, it would probably take him less than ten minutes to do this, and then everything would be over!


    Song Yaozhong, who had always been decisive, was at a loss at that moment. He knew that once he chose to invest, if the price continued to fall, ten minutes later, the entire 100 million yuan, including all the money he¡¯d had before, would be completely gone. However, this was Jiang Feng¡¯s money, and that was an order given by Jiang Feng. He was just an employee. He had no right not to carry it out. Unfortunately, his conscience and his trust in Jiang Feng and Zhang Qidong¡¯s decision-making made him feel worried.


    ¡®What should I do?¡¯ Song Yaozhong sat in front of the computer and looked at the balance, then looked at the chart again. He was extremely conflicted! This was the biggest decision he had made in decades. He sat in his seat, feeling conflicted for a long time. In the end, Song Yaozhong raised his head and made up his mind, using all his strength.


    His fingers tapped on the keyboard, and he quickly invested the 99 million yuan. All of it was invested in pork, and at the same time, he called the agency and immediately activated the leverage tenfold. A minute later, Song Yaozhong sat on the chair and heaved a sigh of relief. He had never felt so weak before.


    Now, he felt as if he had fought a war, and his entire body was exhausted. After he remained paralyzed on the chair for more than ten seconds, his nerves tensed up again. He sat up with a whoosh and stared straight at the computer. When he looked at the green line on the screen, his heart tightened!


    A faint line! Another drop! Once again, there was a declining trend! Oh-oh!


    ¡­


    As the price dropped, Song Yaozhong¡¯s forehead kept oozing sweat. His eyes swept across the screen, and there was only 30,000 yuan left in the margin. His heart was completely filled with fear. With this small amount of money, he could at most hold on for half a minute! If it kept falling after half a minute, then the organization would instantly close and everything would be lost!


    At that moment, Song Yaozhong¡¯s heart was already beginning to show signs of despair. As time passed, the despair grew stronger.


    ¡°It¡¯s¡­ over!¡± Song Yaozhong¡¯s lips trembled as he squeezed out these two words. The deposit had fallen to only 20,000 yuan. The despair in his heart couldn¡¯t be any more intense! When he looked at the number, which had fallen to 10,000 yuan a few seconds later, Song Yaozhong couldn¡¯t hold back anymore.


    ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have listened to him!¡± he cried out in grief. He collapsed on the chair, feeling completely desperate. His face was as pale as death, as if he had already lost everything. Despite his despair, though, his tense nerves relaxed and vague memories from 15 years ago began to appear in his mind.


    15 years ago, he had met Zhang Qidong after getting fired by his company. Just like that, the two of them had set off on the road of entrepreneurship in a daze. He remembered that the first time they had invested in pork and made a huge profit, the two of them had drunk all night.


    A few years later, they had officially set up this company, and it had been a joyous occasion. The two of them had felt ambitious, and it was the first time they had received tens of millions of big orders, rented a building, and looked forward to the future. Beautiful scenes flashed in front of his eyes, and Song Yaozhong¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help getting a little moist. Then, two streams of hot tears gushed out.


    He was really sad from the bottom of his heart. He had put a lot of effort into this company, but he still couldn¡¯t escape today!


    ¡­


    Feeling complete despair, Song Yaozhong collapsed in his chair for a long time. Then, doubt filled his heart.


    ¡®Why hasn¡¯t the agency come to inform me of the liquidation?!¡¯ Song Yaozhong wiped away his tears and sat up from his chair. What he saw made his jaw drop in shock!


    He saw the price of pork on the computer rising rapidly. While he had been sad for a few minutes, the price of pork had risen by 50 cents! This rise had already exceeded his expectations and understanding. It was so fast that it could make one¡¯s hair stand on end!


    ¡°It¡¯s moving! It¡¯s moving!¡± Song Yaozhong was dumbfounded for a long time before he finally reacted. He looked at the price of pork flying wildly in front of him, jumped up from his chair, and cried out!

 Chapter 36

    More than ten minutes flew by, but the price of pork on the computer was still soaring. It was very strong! Song Yaozhong looked at the perfect red lines one after another, his mouth about to bloom into a smile.


    Their margin had been completely earned back, and the profit of the account was also very high. He was already extremely excited, but at that moment, he began to dance in the office. As he did, he clapped his hands and cheered repeatedly!


    His mood, which had originally been at the peak of despair, was instantly reversed. The corners of his eyes were still wet, and he did not know whether it was tears of sadness or hot tears of excitement!


    ¡°Heaven cannot sever the path of a man! Cinda¡¯s life shall not end early!¡± Song Yaozhong clapped his hands and cheered excitedly, both of his hands trembling. He had never expected such a shocking twist to happen today. Everything had been about to end, but at the last moment, it had all changed! The momentum gradually stabilized and the price reached 13 yuan. The rising window was completely open, and his heart was now calm.


    Now that he recalled his previous worries and regrets, Song Yaozhong could not help but slap himself again. He was really stupid. How could he not have seen such a huge business opportunity with that small brain of his?! Jiang Feng¡¯s decision had been right. Completely right. This time, they had invested a total of 10 times the leverage, which was about 1.3 billion! Given this astounding increase, how much money could he earn? He didn¡¯t dare even think about it! Right now, they had already gotten 100 million in their hands!


    ¡°He¡¯s really a god! He didn¡¯t miss a single cent!¡± Song Yaozhong couldn¡¯t help but sigh. He was already full of admiration for Jiang Feng in his heart. Considering that he had been able to maximize profits and calculate that the final 10,000 would increase, just how terrifying was his strength?! Even though he had calculated this result, he didn¡¯t dare gamble! At the very least, he had to cover his position with 10 million before he dared to invest. As for the new leverage, he didn¡¯t even dare think about it.


    But not only had Jiang Feng done that, but he had even gotten ten times the leverage in order to gamble! This kind of confidence and courage were simply out of his reach. Even Zhang Qidong couldn¡¯t catch up to Jiang Feng. His ability had already surpassed everyone else¡¯s in this company.


    ¡°The young master is so amazing! He didn¡¯t even use 100 million. This company is definitely his!¡± Song Yaozhong sighed inwardly. In his heart, he already regarded Jiang Feng as his boss. Then, he thought about the employees outside. They actually looked down on Jiang Feng now. They had said ugly words and ridiculed Jiang Feng like crazy! At the moment, he really felt that these guys were idiots. They were the ultimate idiots!


    A person like Jiang Feng was definitely a genius that he had never met before, even though there were many investment geniuses in the industry. If this matter was exposed, it would probably attract the attention of countless people. When he thought of being able to work under him, he felt a faint sense of glory in his heart. If he followed Jiang Feng, his future would definitely not be bad!


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, in the CEO¡¯s office. Zhang Qidong was right in front of the computer, observing the trend of the price of pork. He was thoroughly relieved to see that the trend had stabilized. At the same time, he felt extremely excited while looking at the nearly $100 million in profit that was already in the account.


    He could not help laughing out loud. ¡°Hahaha! Heaven cannot crush me!¡±


    According to this trend, he knew that the margin had also opened up. This was good news, so they were definitely going to make a wave! All the losses they had suffered before were no longer a problem. A bright future was coming, and the company, which had been about to go bankrupt and close, had also survived thanks to Jiang Feng¡¯s godly management. They had all survived. It could even be said that they had been reborn!


    After this round of investing, the amount of capital in their hands would be several times more than before. The company would expand several times in one night, which was something Zhang Qidong had never thought of before! At the moment, he was looking at Jiang Feng, who was calmly drinking tea, as though he was looking at a god! He was completely shocked by Jiang Feng. The courage and confidence behind this kind of investment, as well as his control over the situation, had exceeded his imagination! He was also far superior to any other investment genius he had ever seen!


    Jiang Feng had not only saved him this time, but also the company. He sincerely thanked Jiang Feng in his heart, and at the same time, he made up his mind to follow him. He would never let go of this genius and the family behind him. Clinging onto Jiang Feng¡¯s thigh was akin to clinging onto a seat on the future Financial Street!


    And at that moment, Jiang Feng was still very calm. He had experienced the explosion of money speculation and won the lottery. Besides, he had already seen the trend chart, so he was not that excited. Right now, he was still drinking tea with a smile on his face and looking at the excited Zhang Qidong, who was walking around the office and talking to himself.


    Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head. ¡°President Zhang, we have to continue to hold on to Pork Inc. and insist on doing so for a long time.


    ¡°The current market heat will persist for some time. You don¡¯t have to worry about the price falling.


    ¡°When the time is right, I will naturally tell you to sell. Do you understand?¡±


    As Jiang Feng spoke, Zhang Qidong stopped and listened carefully. At the same time, he nodded his head repeatedly, completely believing Jiang Feng¡¯s words. Now that he was completely convinced, he was also in awe of Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s operation today was indeed the most wonderful operation he had seen in decades. He would believe whatever Jiang Feng said in the future, as Jiang Feng was much stronger than him. Although he was no longer the boss of Cinda Financial, he was completely satisfied with working for Jiang Feng and continuing to run Cinda.


    Upon seeing Zhang Qidong nod, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t say anything else about the investment. Given the size of the investment, even if he didn¡¯t say it, Zhang Qidong would keep an eye on the market. If there were any abnormalities, he would definitely contact Jiang Feng immediately.


    However, after saying all this, Jiang Feng still had a few more things to remind him of. Zhang Qidong¡¯s ability was strong enough, and he was also good enough to manage the company. However, he had his own shortcomings, such as the Pork Inc. investment incident.


    He was careless and he hadn¡¯t carefully calculated the timing of the investment, so he had soon faced the threat of bankruptcy. If he had calculated it all clearly and invested later, he would have been able to hold on until today, when the price would have come back to life. At most, it would have been a close call. Besides, despite the size of the investment, he had actually insisted on doing it on his own. He hadn¡¯t ordered anyone else to discuss it with the company¡¯s management. These were all his weaknesses.


    Jiang Feng had already discovered this when he had signed the contract. Now, he was only reminding Zhang Qidong to prevent him from getting into trouble again.


    ¡°Well, just wait to hear from me about the investment. The other investments of the company will still proceed as usual!


    ¡°However, in the future, you will have to report to me on all the investments that exceed 100 million, as well as those that exceed 100 million with additional leverage.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I will keep a close eye on them. I will definitely report to you as soon as there are any major investments.¡±


    Zhang Qidong nodded his head repeatedly in response to Jiang Feng¡¯s words.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. I believe that you will handle the company¡¯s investments well.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded his head as he spoke.


    Then, he looked down at his watch. He hadn¡¯t expected that a lot of time would have passed during this investment twist. Besides, Jiang Feng had listened carefully while sitting in the office. The voices outside were still speaking, and although he couldn¡¯t hear their specific words, Jiang Feng could guess what they were talking about.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go and announce this news to the employees,¡± Jiang Feng said with a smile as he stood up. Then, he directly moved forward to open the office door and walked out.


    ¡­


    As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Feng was blocked by a dark, fat figure. Looking closely, he saw that it was his former boss, Zhu Hongda.


    Zhu Hongda, who had just walked to the door of the president¡¯s office, had been about to knock when he saw Jiang Feng open the door. His face immediately darkened, and his two pig-like eyes opened wide and glared at Jiang Feng. He then opened his mouth and growled, ¡°Kid, you finally came out?


    ¡°You have no manners. There are strict rules and regulations in this company. You are just a small employee. Who told you to go look for the boss? You have no sense of propriety!


    ¡°Have you not been punished enough? How dare you look down on me!¡±


    Zhu Hongda started to scold Jiang Feng.


    His roaring voice immediately attracted the attention of all the employees of the company. Many of them looked at the upcoming show with mocking smiles. Some of them even licked their lips and rubbed their fists, ready to show off. However, a few also watched Zhu Hongda¡¯s actions with a hint of disgust in their eyes.


    Zhang Qidong, who was standing behind Jiang Feng, heard Zhu Hongda¡¯s low growl before he even stepped out of the office door. Zhang Qidong¡¯s face turned dark when he saw him scold Jiang Feng. Zhu Hongda, who had just finished scolding Jiang Feng, turned his head and saw Zhang Qidong, who had a dark expression on his face. He thought that Jiang Feng had angered Zhang Qidong to an extent, and immediately furrowed his brows.


    His eyes glared at Jiang Feng even more fiercely as he said angrily, ¡°You brat, you really have no brain. You even dared to provoke the boss!


    ¡°Hurry up and apologize!¡±


    After Zhu Hongda finished scolding Jiang Feng, he immediately turned to look at Zhang Qidong, who was behind him, and smiled apologetically.


    ¡°Boss, I¡¯m sorry. I didn¡¯t manage my people properly and I caused you trouble. Please don¡¯t be angry!


    ¡°This kid can¡¯t do anything right. I¡¯ll definitely teach him a good lesson soon!¡±


    After Zhu Hongda said that, he felt secretly delighted. Jiang Feng had angered the boss this time, so it would be much easier to deal with him from now on. He even had an evil thought: He would force Jiang Feng to resign. However, when Zhang Qidong, who was standing behind Jiang Feng, heard Zhu Hongda¡¯s words, his face became even uglier!

 Chapter 37

    Zhu Hongda scolded Jiang Feng, making all the employees of the company look at him. This kind of thing was very rare in the company. The gossipers were all in position, and many people were still whispering and commenting.


    As he watched Zhu Hongda being so rampant in front of him, Zhang Qidong¡¯s face went numb from anger. He opened his mouth, ready to teach him a lesson when, suddenly, a few employees who were not far behind Zhu Hongda took the lead and spoke out.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, as a newcomer, you don¡¯t even know the company¡¯s rules and regulations. Manager Zhu scolded you well!¡±


    ¡°Exactly. Manager Zhu should teach his subordinate a lesson for causing the boss trouble. I don¡¯t know how big of a delay it will result in.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t know your limits. Hurry up and apologize to the boss.¡±


    ¡°Today, Manager Zhu scolded you for your own good. I don¡¯t know if that pig brain of yours can even understand.¡±


    When someone opened his mouth, many employees of the company started to speak as well. Each and every one of them was showing off their own awesomeness. They started to show off their cleverness too while scolding Jiang Feng, all of them siding with Zhu Hongda.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, you didn¡¯t do the task assigned to you and even tried to cause the boss trouble. You¡¯re really lawless!¡±


    While some of the employees were talking, the team leader not far away stood up and said, ¡°Trash like you can¡¯t do anything well. But if you can¡¯t do this, you should have said so earlier. It would have saved the company resources!¡±


    When he saw this team leader directly insult Jiang Feng, the corner of Zhu Hongda¡¯s mouth curled up into an imperceptible smile.


    He looked at Jiang Feng with a hint of pride in his eyes. Unlike a newcomer, it was obvious that he was on the manager¡¯s side. Therefore, many employees took this opportunity to express their positions. In order to survive in the company in the future, they didn¡¯t care about sacrificing Jiang Feng. Besides, it wouldn¡¯t be bad for them if they forced Jiang Feng to resign.


    Everyone pointed at each other and spoke, and each and every one of them was pleased with themselves and felt that what they had said was right. However, most of the employees kept their mouths shut and only watched the drama in front of them. There were also a few employees who secretly sighed when they saw Jiang Feng being targeted like this. This was because they had also been targeted by these disgusting people before, but they had all endured it again and again. Now that they saw Jiang Feng like this, they still couldn¡¯t bear it.


    However, they didn¡¯t dare say anything else because if they said the wrong thing, their days in the future wouldn¡¯t be easy. Therefore, they could only look at Jiang Feng with some heartache, feeling sorry for him.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t even do your job. Instead, you started running around. You really have guts!¡±


    ¡°Oh right, you were 15 minutes late this morning, right? Then you should be punished one more time, and your weekly salary will be deducted!¡±


    Zhu Hongda was pleased with himself as he looked at Jiang Feng and started scolding him again. Just like that, a group of people stared at Jiang Feng, who had just left the room, and started scolding him with all kinds of mocking remarks. Zhang Qidong, who was standing behind Jiang Feng, was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He hadn¡¯t expected that he would be busy investing in the past few days, so he had ignored these guys. Now, they were all completely rampant! Plus, his angry look made everyone think he was angry at Jiang Feng.


    However, Jiang Feng, who was standing in the front, didn¡¯t care about the verbal attacks of these clowns. He had even heard the cold words of Shen Wen, Yu Jia, and the others. The words of these strangers couldn¡¯t hurt Jiang Feng at all. He only felt pity for these guys, and his expression was still calm as he glanced at the employees of the company and smiled faintly.


    However, this strange action caused Zhu Hongda to frown. He glanced at Zhang Qidong, who was trembling from anger behind him, and immediately roared in a deep voice, ¡°What are you laughing at? Scram immediately!¡±


    However, the moment he finished speaking. Zhang Qidong couldn¡¯t hold it in any longer and raised his hand to slap him.


    A resounding slap echoed throughout the entire company, and the arrogant Zhu Hongda staggered and almost fell to the ground.


    ¡°Get the f*ck out of here. From this day onward, you¡¯re fired!¡± Zhang Qidong pointed at Zhu Hongda angrily.


    This sudden scene immediately silenced the entire company. Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the angry Zhang Qidong, their hearts trembling. They were stunned. What was going on? Why would the boss hit Manager Zhu? Shouldn¡¯t he be teaching Jiang Feng a lesson? And he had even announced that Zhu Hongda would be fired! It was really terrifying. They were completely shocked by Zhang Qidong¡¯s actions, as in all their years at the company, no one had ever seen Zhang Qidong so angry.


    The team leader, who was standing, immediately sat down. Zhu Hongda was even more confused now. He covered his face and felt a burning pain on it. He didn¡¯t know why, but he had been slapped by Zhang Qidong. It was Jiang Feng who had made a mistake, so why was he the one slapped? He was stunned on the spot, and his mind went crazy!


    After he finished slapping Zhu Hongda, Zhang Qidong turned to look at the company hall.


    ¡°You, you, and you. Liu Jiewei, Wang Zhi, Li Qingyi, and you¡­


    ¡°All of you have been fired. Pack up your stuff immediately and get lost!¡±


    Zhang Qidong pointed angrily at the employees who had heckled Jiang Feng just now and fired them without hesitation. Even though there were many old people among them, he didn¡¯t show them any respect and just asked them to leave after paying their salaries. In front of Jiang Feng, no one in the entire company was more important. If anyone dared to say anything bad about Jiang Feng, they would be fired today.


    Zhang Qidong was aware of the severity of the situation. He knew what the future company needed. He wouldn¡¯t be afraid even if all these unimportant employees and managers were fired. There were a lot of talented people in society, so he could totally recruit more. But if he offended Jiang Feng, the anger in Jiang Feng¡¯s heart wouldn¡¯t be appeased. There would be no turning back for him!


    Besides, these guys were actually very arrogant and didn¡¯t take their colleagues seriously. If he didn¡¯t fire them, how decent would the company be? That was why he fired all of these brainless guys so fast.


    But as soon as he finished speaking, the employees whose names had been called out immediately felt dissatisfied. ¡°Why should we be fired? Did we do something wrong?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It was Jiang Feng who made a mistake first. He ignored the company¡¯s rules and regulations and went beyond his rank to see a leader. So what if we scold him a little?¡±


    ¡°Is the company going to suddenly fire us over a useless rookie? What sort of qualifications does he have?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ve been working hard for the company for so many years. Now that we¡¯ve been fired, where¡¯s your conscience?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not convinced. There¡¯s no reason to fire us! We¡¯re speaking up for the company. Is this considered wrong?¡±


    For a moment, everyone stood up and shouted loudly. They were not convinced by Zhang Qidong¡¯s words at all. In their eyes, he was just teasing Jiang Feng. Even though they had admitted to the crime, they did not deserve to be fired.


    He was just a small employee. So what if they scolded him a little? Was the boss confused today? As the crowd shouted, Zhu Hongda, who had been thinking for a moment, came back to his senses. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. At the same time, he became bolder upon hearing the crowd¡¯s words, and the burning pain on his face made him angry.


    Then, he turned to look at Zhang Qidong and angrily said, ¡°Boss, I¡¯m speaking for the company!


    ¡°This kid Jiang Feng doesn¡¯t care about the rules and regulations and acts beyond his rank. Scolding him a few times will teach him a lesson.


    ¡°I¡¯m his superior, and it¡¯s my duty to deal with him. But should I be fired because of this?


    ¡°Besides, Jiang Feng is only a newbie. What right do you have to protect him?¡± Zhu Hongda¡¯s eyes were filled with anger as he questioned Zhang Qidong loudly. His words also caused the people who had been fired to shout even louder. All of them stared at Zhang Qidong, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction.


    At that moment, the atmosphere was heavy, and the door of the finance office suddenly opened with a bang and Song Yaozhong¡¯s figure appeared in front of everyone.


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell you!¡± He moved his gaze over the employees standing in the room. Then, he turned his eyes to Zhu Hongda and said loudly, ¡°He is the real boss here!¡±


    As soon as Song Yaozhong said that, all the noise in the company immediately stopped! The air instantly froze, and the whole place was dead silent!

 Chapter 38

    As soon as Song Yaozhong finished his sentence, everyone was stunned on the spot. The room was silent, and everyone¡¯s hearts were filled with shock! They couldn¡¯t believe that such a dramatic thing would happen to them. Many people were just shocked that Jiang Feng had become their boss. Those who had been arrogant and had supported Zhu Hongda before were now dumbfounded.


    They looked at Jiang Feng, then at Zhang Qidong, and then at Song Yaozhong. They couldn¡¯t believe it at all. Jiang Feng was only a newbie with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan. How could he be the boss? They had worked with him for half a year. Everyone knew what kind of person Jiang Feng was! He was the sort of person who usually spent frugally, yet he was now the big boss. They would never believe it.


    In their eyes, the big boss should be a man in a suit holding a briefcase and sitting in a luxury car. He would go to all kinds of high-class places every day, eat expensive western food, and talk about business. How could it be this ordinary young man in front of them?


    Everyone looked at their previous boss, Zhang Qidong, trying to get an answer from him. However, Zhang Qidong didn¡¯t say a word, as though he had not heard what Song Yaozhong had said. It seemed as if he had already accepted this fact and felt that there was nothing left to say. They couldn¡¯t tell what was happening, and for a moment, their hearts were extremely confused. The employees who hadn¡¯t said anything just now and had been just watching the show, turned their eyes around and looked at everyone¡¯s expressions. Their eyes were wide open, and they were extremely shocked!


    Compared to guys who had a foul mouth, they already had an answer in their hearts. This answer had no effect on them, and they could completely believe it. It was just that they couldn¡¯t help feeling a little shocked. Just like that, the entire company was silent, and no one said a word. The atmosphere had become extremely strange.


    Zhu Hongda, who was standing aside, finally couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore. He was the first to break this strange atmosphere, staring with his pig-like eyes at Song Yaozhong. ¡°How is that possible?


    ¡°Director Song, this joke isn¡¯t funny at all.


    ¡°Although you have a good relationship with the boss, you still have to be held responsible for spouting such nonsense!¡± Zhu Hongda said as he shook his head, unwilling to believe this. However, Zhang Qidong opened his mouth as soon as he finished speaking. ¡°Old Song is right. That¡¯s the truth!¡±


    After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at all the employees of the company. Then, he announced, ¡°I signed a share transfer agreement with President Jiang, and the agreement is already in effect.


    ¡°From this day onward, the real boss of Cinda Financial is Mr. Jiang Feng!


    ¡°I will remain at the company and continue to exercise the power of the president and represent you!¡±


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s words confirmed Jiang Feng¡¯s identity. When the employees heard it, they were all extremely shocked. Then, there was an uproar in the company. The employees looked at each other, all of them feeling stunned by this heavy news. Jiang Feng had signed a share transfer agreement with Zhang Qidong! From now on, Jiang Feng was their boss, but Zhang Qidong would still be the president of the company!


    What exactly had happened? What was the relationship between Jiang Feng and Zhang Qidong? How were the company¡¯s shares divided? Everyone was shocked by these words. A series of questions appeared in their minds, forcing them to digest them like crazy. Zhu Hongda and the other employees, who had arrogantly shouted and cursed Jiang Feng just now, felt their brains buzzing.


    After hearing Zhang Qidong¡¯s announcement, they could only accept this unacceptable change. Jiang Feng was the boss and the new ruler of Cinda. They had all provoked Jiang Feng previously, which was akin to jumping on their boss¡¯ head and dancing. When they thought about what Zhang Qidong had said earlier, they felt their legs go weak.


    ¡­


    Just like that, everyone in the company kept speaking for more than a minute. Zhang Qidong saw that they had almost digested everything, so he opened his mouth to ask them to calm down. Then, he turned to look at Jiang Feng and smiled. ¡°Director Jiang, let¡¯s have a word with everyone.¡±


    After hearing Zhang Qidong¡¯s words, Jiang Feng thought for a moment and nodded. After all, this was his company now, and all the employees of the company were working for him. It was his first day on the job, so he should say a few words. At the same time, he wanted to reacquaint himself with them, win over the hearts of these people, and have the most useful ones serve him.


    As he thought to himself, Jiang Feng took a few steps forward and faced the employees of the company. As for Zhu Hongda and the others, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t even glance at them. Other than these brainless guys, there were still a lot of people in the company who didn¡¯t speak. As he looked at his many employees and former colleagues, Jiang Feng coughed twice. He just didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment.


    Although he had heard a lot of bosses speak officially, he couldn¡¯t think of a single word to say. Looking at the employees watching him expectantly, Jiang Feng thought for a moment before speaking.


    ¡°From now on, President Zhang will be in charge of the daily affairs of the company. Everyone will just work as usual.


    ¡°As for the people he fired just now, I support his opinion. Our company doesn¡¯t need this kind of sh*t!¡±


    As soon as Jiang Feng finished speaking, the employees nodded their heads. The guys who had been causing trouble in the company all year round were going to be fired. From time to time, they had been making a mess, so it would indeed be best if they were fired! This time, they had butted heads with Jiang Feng, so they deserved it.


    When Zhu Hongda and the others heard this, they all felt despair in their hearts. They looked at Jiang Feng and opened their mouths, but they had nothing to say.


    After saying this, Jiang Feng thought about it again. It didn¡¯t seem to be of much use to him to say this little. Now that the company had changed hands and they had fired these idiots, there should be a new atmosphere. He should also give them some benefits so that he could show off his demeanor as a boss.


    After thinking for a while, Jiang Feng nodded and made up his mind. Then, he looked at the crowd and added, ¡°Everyone has been busy working for the company for a long time. I have witnessed it with my own eyes.


    ¡°The development of the company cannot be separated from you. Therefore, all the remaining employees will get a week off!


    ¡°After completing all your projects today, you can immediately go home and take a vacation!


    ¡°Each employee will be rewarded with two round-trip tickets to a domestic destination and a travel fund of 10,000 yuan!


    ¡°You can report back to the company in seven days!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s voice was not loud as he spoke with a smile. Giving them vacation time was indeed something that Jiang Feng had personally wanted. Besides, the Pork Inc. investment would require his attention for seven days. During this period, Zhang Qidong would not have any time to pay attention to them. It would be better to let them go out and have fun. After they had fun, they would come back to work, and their impression of Jiang Feng would naturally be better.


    As for the money they¡¯d be given, it only added up to about one million. After seven days, Jiang Feng would earn at least one billion! Those rewards were just a drop in the ocean. When Jiang Feng¡¯s words reached the ears of the many company employees, they immediately cheered.


    Although they hadn¡¯t recovered from what had happened just now, that didn¡¯t affect their excitement at all. Jiang Feng¡¯s reward was really, really shocking! Each person would get a 10,000-yuan spending limit and two round-trip plane tickets. This added up to a reward of 20,000 yuan per person! Most importantly, this was a whole week of vacation! Everyone went crazy, and the company was soon filled with cheers.


    ¡°Boss Jiang is awesome!¡±


    ¡°Boss Jiang is the most handsome!¡±


    ¡°I love you to death, Boss Jiang!¡±


    All the employees were filled with passion as they called Jiang Feng awesome! Their excitement filled the entire company hall to the brim.


    Meanwhile, Zhu Hongda and the other employees who had been fired were standing aside. At that moment, all of them looked sad, and their mood was extremely bad. They looked as if they had eaten a fly. Many of them had been moved upon hearing about Jiang Feng¡¯s reward. However, they had already lost the chance to enjoy it. Now, they couldn¡¯t help but regret it in their hearts. They regretted being blind and rude. They had joined Zhu Hongda and offended Jiang Feng for no reason!

 Chapter 39

    Jiang Feng¡¯s generous reward made countless employees feel overjoyed. All of them were grateful to Jiang Feng, as they had never been given such a good reward. When Zhang Qidong had been their boss, he¡¯d never had so much money to spend. Occasionally, there had been a team reward, and the budget had been at most 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.


    Now, as soon as Jiang Feng had become boss, he had spent millions of yuan to reward his employees. Many people had already started to guess Jiang Feng¡¯s identity. In order to be so generous, he definitely had a lot of money. His family was probably not some rural family with demolition money. He was most likely the young heir of a financial group! Only such a rich person would dare spend a million yuan so casually.


    This speculation gradually began to take shape in everyone¡¯s hearts. The colleagues who had hung out with Jiang Feng before were now extremely glad that they had not offended this secret big shot. If they had offended Jiang Feng, they would have been among the people who had been fired today. This beautiful reward was impossible to even think about, and getting 20,000 yuan was hard to imagine. At the same time, they had decided to trust Jiang Feng¡¯s good intentions. Following a boss who gave out clear rewards and punishments¡ªa rich and capable boss¡ªwould ensure their future would be bright!


    While they were in high spirits, the fate of the rest of the company¡¯s staff paled in comparison. They were all currently packing up their things. They had been fired, so they had to pack up and get out of the company. But as they looked at the other people, who were cheering, the regret in their hearts grew stronger and stronger. The company had a new boss and had become richer, but they were courting death instead. They were unwilling to accept this. They had lost out on a huge reward, a week of vacation, and an unpredictable future¡­


    The few employees who had been fired were unable to let go. They simply put down the things in their hands and ran over to Zhang Qidong, begging him bitterly.


    ¡°President Zhang, it was just a slip of the tongue. I was just joking about President Jiang. Please don¡¯t fire me!¡±


    ¡°President Zhang, I¡¯ve been working for you for ten years. It¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know I¡¯m known for my sharp tongue and soft heart. Give me another chance. I promise I won¡¯t do it again!¡±


    ¡°President Zhang, I really didn¡¯t know that President Jiang was the boss. Besides, this was all Zhu Hongda¡¯s doing. He¡¯s more to blame! You have to be more observant!¡±


    ¡°President Zhang, give me another chance. I will do my best. I promise to double the sales next month and work hard to contribute to the company!¡±


    ¡°President Zhang, please, I¡¯m begging you. If I lose my job and have to find another one, my whole family will go hungry. No one wants to find another job at my age!¡±


    ¡°President Zhang, President Zhang, please forgive us! We are aware that we were wrong. Give us a chance!¡±


    Everyone rushed over and started crying in front of Zhang Qidong. It seemed as if they were repentant, but if they forgave them just because they were kneeling down, these guys would probably kneel down again without any hesitation.


    Zhang Qidong looked at this group of spineless b*stards, feeling angry. All of them were old employees, but they were guys who had always caused the company trouble. He had already cleaned up their messes several times before. Each time, they would not stop for long before they messed up again. If it was not for their past contributions, Zhang Qidong would have fired them long ago. They just could not stay calm or be steady. Today, they had actually butted heads with Jiang Feng. Just now, they had even dared to scold Jiang Feng in front of him.


    What was even more outrageous was that they were begging for mercy. It was as if there was a hole in their brains. Instead of begging Jiang Feng for mercy, they were actually begging him. Were they f*cking trying to get him in trouble? Now that the boss of the company was Jiang Feng, these guys were still loyal to him. What would Jiang Feng think? Jiang Feng had generously distributed rewards just now, wanting to win over the hearts of the people and establish his identity as a boss. But these b*stards had asked him for mercy instead. They were f*cking trying to implicate him! Zhang Qidong¡¯s face turned dark as he looked at these guys. He even wanted to kill them.


    ¡°Get lost! All of you get lost! What use do you have for your weak bones and pig brains?!


    ¡°Security, kick them all out!¡±


    Zhang Qidong roared angrily and directly called for security.


    Zhu Hongda, who was standing aside, had a face full of despair. How could he not feel regret? At that moment, he wanted to go up to Jiang Feng and beg, but he didn¡¯t know what to say. As he watched the scene in front of him, the thought of shamelessly begging him vanished into thin air. And just as he shook his head and lamented, Zhang Qidong, who turned around, saw that Zhu Hongda was still standing there. He immediately opened his mouth and scolded him angrily.


    ¡°You fat pig, what are you still standing here for?


    ¡°You¡¯re f*cking fired. Get out of here! Pack your things and get out of the company!


    ¡°Stop standing here like a f*cking useless pig! You¡¯re an eyesore! Get out!¡±


    Zhang Qidong glared at Zhu Hongda and roared loudly.


    Zhu Hongda, who already looked deflated, was so scared that his entire body trembled. He didn¡¯t resist at all. He immediately turned around and ran to his desk. He was extremely disappointed as he packed up his things. The employees on the side looked at him and could not help but laugh. Their laughter overlapped with the laughter of the other employees, so no one even noticed it!


    Zhu Hongda swallowed his anger, as he did not have the energy to argue at all. At the moment, he could only think about Jiang Feng becoming boss. He couldn¡¯t figure out what kind of qualifications this guy had to be the boss. Yu Qian had told him all about him yesterday. Could Yu Qian have lied to him?


    Zhu Hongda shook his head, unable to understand any of this. However, no one in the company cared at all. Everyone was overjoyed at the moment. Many of the employees were excited. In particular, some of them had just been hired by the company before discovering that Jiang Feng was a big tycoon. Jiang Feng¡¯s generosity has shocked them, and some of them had already formed a circle of friends and were ready to spread the happy news!


    ¡­


    In the meantime, on the 25th floor of the CBD Quantum Building in Shanghai, Luo Yuchang, the boss, was holding a meeting.


    Carey Venture Capital was a company that specialized in a variety of venture capital, especially high-risk investments. With the backing of several major shareholders, the size and strength of their company, as well as its capital, was very powerful. Compared to Zhang Qidong¡¯s Cinda, it was many times bigger, so they were not on the same level at all.


    After Lin Miaoxue had graduated, she had smoothly entered this company based on her own strength. After more than half a year, she had also relied on her own abilities to advance to the position of team leader. More than ten employees were working under her, and she was already one of the company¡¯s managers.


    At the moment, Lin Miaoxue was in the meeting with Luo Yuchang, the boss. As the smallest employee on the company¡¯s management team, she sat at the back of the meeting table. This was the first time she was attending a meeting with the boss¡¯ management team, so she was very serious. She just held her notes and listened carefully to Luo Yuchang¡¯s speech.


    The entire conference table was filled with people, and the company¡¯s chairmen and managers were all present. Luo Yuchang held the remote control in his hand and easily pressed it. Then, the PowerPoint that his assistant had prepared appeared on the projector.


    ¡°Everyone, today¡¯s meeting is very important. Pay attention to what I¡¯m about to say.¡±


    Luo Yuchang, who was in his forties, had a tall figure, a well-defined face, and an aquiline nose. His deep eyes seemed to be filled with killing intent, and as soon as he finished his words, the crowd immediately perked up.


    ¡°In the past three months, the company has been developing steadily. It seems that Morgan Inc. has been completely digested.


    ¡°It¡¯s time for us to devour someone else.


    ¡°I recently found a very good company that could serve as an appetizer.¡±


    After Luo Yuchang finished speaking, he pressed the remote control in his hand.


    A second later, a picture of the company appeared on the projector. As they looked at the picture, many people nodded thoughtfully. Most of them knew this company. It was a small company in the industry, but its reputation had always been good. When he saw everyone nod, the corners of Luo Yuchang¡¯s mouth curled up into a smile.


    ¡°As everyone can see, Cinda Financial will be our next meal. I¡¯ve already laid out a plan. Unless I¡¯m wrong, their company is now in a complete crisis. In a few days, we¡¯ll be able to get it easily!¡±


    As he said this, many of the higher-ups in the meeting room had greedy looks on their faces.

 Chapter 40

    As he looked at the interested executives, Luo Yuchang continued to speak.


    ¡°Zhang Qidong of Cinda Financial holds 100% of the company¡¯s shares. We¡¯ve been watching him for a long time!


    ¡°Recently, Cinda has been continuously investing in Pork Inc. and has even increased the leverage.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been setting him up by lending him money to buy shares and increase the leverage. Now, the stock of Pork Inc. has been plummeting for several days in a row!


    ¡°Zhang Qidong should be about to fall apart.


    ¡°Next, our goal is to eat this piece of fat meat that¡¯s right in front of our mouths.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already asked the project department to initiate the Cinda merger. The other departments are also ready to start the merger at any time.¡±


    As Luo Yuchang spoke, the corners of his mouth could not help forming a cold smile. He loved doing things like this the most. Instead of slowly investing to develop, it was better to dig holes and annex small businesses. In order to accelerate the development of the company, he had already used his own resources more than once, as well as all kinds of methods.


    In the beginning, everyone had still been somewhat prejudiced against this. After all, it had an impact on the company¡¯s reputation. But as the company went on to devour a few businesses, the rapid development of the company made these prejudices disappear. The shareholders and management of the company could see that the company was growing stronger, and their pockets were gradually filled, so many people chose to join in.


    This time, the major shareholders already knew all about the plan to sabotage Cinda. This meeting was just held to make things clear to the management team and get them ready to work.


    ¡°Does anyone have anything to add?¡±


    After making things clear, Luo Yuchang looked at the crowd and spoke again.


    The meeting room was silent, and no one spoke.


    ¡°Well, today¡¯s meeting ends here. Meeting adjourned!¡±


    As Luo Yuchang spoke, he threw the remote control on the table and strode out of the meeting room. The other shareholders also stood up and left. Then, the management team walked out of the meeting room and returned to the office area. Lin Miaoxue also walked out with her laptop in her hands.


    This was the first time she had seen the boss in a meeting. She was quite moved, although it was a little unscrupulous of him to openly use his peers and annex other companies. After returning to her seat, Lin Miaoxue had just sat down when the manager beside her took a seat too.


    The manager, Yang Yiling, was Lin Miaoxue¡¯s superior, but their relationship was not like the one between ordinary employees. Instead, they were like close friends. Even though they were a superior and a subordinate at work, they were really good friends in private. Upon returning to her seat, Yang Yiling could not help coming over to complain to Lin Miaoxue.


    ¡°Old Man Luo is really bad. He¡¯s targeting a new company this time!


    ¡°I reckon that in a few days, this company will be in trouble. Given his ruthless methods, they won¡¯t be able to avoid being targeted.


    ¡°It¡¯s just a pity that all the employees of that company are about to lose their jobs. Sigh¡­¡±


    As Yang Yiling spoke, her tone was filled with disgust for Luo Yuchang. She was extremely displeased with his despicable actions and his tendency to harm his peers for his own benefit.


    Lin Miaoxue had just attended the meeting, so she naturally knew what she was talking about. After all, she had not been working for this company for long, and this was also her first meeting. She was even less familiar with Luo Yuchang. She thought about it, but she did not say yes or no. She only asked for the name of the company.


    ¡°Sister Ling, are you sure that the company you are targeting this time is Cinda Financial?¡±


    Yang Yiling looked at Lin Miaoxue¡¯s concerned expression. Then, she thought about her strange behavior in the past two days and blinked her eyes as she walked over.


    ¡°Why do you care about this? Could your boyfriend be working there?¡±


    When she heard Yang Yiling¡¯s question, Lin Miaoxue quickly said, ¡°No, I just have an acquaintance who works there.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Yang Yiling nodded in agreement.


    ¡°It¡¯s Cinda indeed. This company has a good reputation in the industry. The boss, Zhang Qidong, is an honest man who never scams people.


    ¡°However, an eagle like Luo Yuchang likes to target honest men like him. I reckon that not only will the company be annexed, but it¡¯s very likely that he will also die!


    ¡°Damn, entrepreneurs often jump off buildings in Shanghai. We can¡¯t interfere with such a thing.


    ¡°But if you have a good relationship with that acquaintance, you can warn him to prepare for his next job so his future is not delayed.


    ¡°I also want to remind you not to say too much. If you ruin Luo Yuchang¡¯s plan, you might be suspected of leaking confidential information and breaking the law!¡±


    Upon hearing Yang Yiling¡¯s reminder, Lin Miaoxue thought of Jiang Feng. In the past, he would have been affected by working at Cinda Financial. But now, Jiang Feng had so much money that losing his job wouldn¡¯t affect him at all.


    ¡°Okay, got it.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue smiled and nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s get to work. Otherwise, if those old guys see us chatting, they¡¯ll definitely give us a good scolding.¡±


    Seeing Lin Miaoxue nod, Yang Yiling shifted her chair to turn on her computer and started working. Lin Miaoxue only smiled and did not say anything else. While working here, she had long gotten used to hearing Yang Yiling criticize the company leader. She had started working there recently, so she felt a little uneasy in her heart.


    She sat in her seat and hesitated for a while. Then, Lin Miaoxue took out her phone and opened the interface to send a message to her best friend, Liu Xinyao.


    ¡°I have a friend who likes someone who might be working there. How can she comfort him?¡±


    A few seconds after she sent the message, Liu Xinyao replied.


    ¡°You are making up a friend to fool me?


    ¡°Are you talking about Jiang Feng? Is he going to lose his job?¡±


    ¡°Isn¡¯t that right? What¡¯s there to comfort him about? Pounce on him!¡±

 Chapter 41 - The Intention to Punish

    When Lin Miaoxue saw Liu Xinyao¡¯s messages, her face turned red immediately, and she quickly locked her phone before covering her face. Her heart thumped wildly in her chest as she looked around shyly. Only when she confirmed that her colleagues were not looking at her did she calm down slightly. However, her heartbeat began to pick up speed again when she recalled Liu Xinyao¡¯s blunt words. She did not usually think about such things, after all. For a moment, she did not know what to reply so she could only continue working on her computer.


    Unfortunately, her heart had been disturbed by Liu Xinyao¡¯s words. After a while, she realized she was not getting any work done at all. Her mind was only filled with strange thoughts.


    ¡®Pounce on him?¡¯


    She felt ashamed just thinking about such things in the company. However, she could not help but feel curious. She only thought about comforting Jiang Feng previously, but now, she was completely led astray by Liu Xinyao.


    After a moment, she brought her phone out again. She read Liu Xinyao¡¯s message again, and similar to before, her heart began to race. After a moment, she typed on the phone with trembling hands.


    Lin Miaoxue: What should I do?


    After clicking send, she quickly put her phone away again.


    ¡®How can I ask such a question?¡¯


    It did not take long before Lin Miaoxu began to regret sending that message to Liu Xinyao. However, strange thoughts began to appear in her mind again, washing away her regret and causing her to blush.


    If her colleagues in the company looked at her now, they would definitely be mesmerized by her current appearance. Alas, those men who were engrossed in their work missed such a beautiful scene.


    Lin Miaoxue was dressed in ordinary work clothes today. She looked very competent and beautiful. However, at this moment, her heart was that of a shy young girl, thumping wildly. She was so lost in her thoughts at this moment, unable to extricate herself from this state.


    ¡­


    Cinda Financial.


    After the positive news was released, the price of Pork Inc. had risen by two dollars in just a few hours.


    Jiang Feng did not stay idle when he saw the money in his account increase. He told Song Yaozhong to invest all the profits and increase the leverage. This investment opportunity was very good, and he did not want to miss out.


    After a few hours, when it was about 1 in the afternoon, Jiang Feng finally stopped to rest when he felt hungry. Seeing that it was past twelve, he decided to leave the company. He still had other things to do in the afternoon.


    ¡°President Zhang, continue to keep an eye on the investment and continue to invest the profits. This surge will continue for a long time,¡± Jiang Feng said as he rose to his feet and stretched his limbs, ¡°Director Song, you should also let the employees go on vacation. Make sure everyone is happy,¡± Jiang Deng said as he rose to his feet and stretched his limbs.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Director Jiang. I won¡¯t be careless with the investments,¡± Zhang Qidong said in agreement as he hastily stood up. He had spoken at length with Jiang Feng earlier and also learned a lot from listening to Jiang Feng analyzed everything. At this moment, his respect for Jiang Feng had risen even more. He really wanted to worship Jiang Feng as a teacher now.


    Song Yaozhong rose to his feet as well and said, ¡°Director Jiang, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m familiar with all the employees in the company.¡±


    Song Yaozhong was also in awe of Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng¡¯s investment ideas had completely surpassed his, and Jiang Feng¡¯s ability to invest was indescribable. If Jiang Feng could maintain this, he could not imagine how great Jiang Feng would be in the future.


    As Jiang Feng walked to the door, he asked, ¡°Have you dealt with those who were fired?¡±


    ¡°Director Jiang, I¡¯ve dealt with all of them. I¡¯ve paid their salaries, and all of them have left the company,¡± Song Yaozhong replied immediately. He thought that those people were really blind. They were not very capable, but they dared to mock Jiang Feng. They really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. It was ridiculous that they even wanted to humiliate Jiang Feng. Those people really had no self-awareness.


    ¡®It¡¯s good that Zhang Qidong fired them. After taking out the trash, the company will recruit new blood and rise to new heights!¡¯


    What Song Yaozhong truly admired was Jiang Feng¡¯s magnanimity. He did bother competing with those people; he did not even look at them. Clearly, in Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes, Zhu Hongda and the others were just like ants, not worth a second glance.


    Jiang Feng was a high and mighty super tycoon. Would someone at the top pay attention to the ants on the ground? His judgment and perspective were completely different from ordinary people.


    This made Song Yaozhong admire Jiang Feng even more. He was even more determined to grow stronger together with Jiang Feng.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng no longer spoke after listening to Song Yaozhong¡¯s reply. He opened the door and walked out.


    The employees in the company looked at Jiang Feng with smiles on their faces when he walked out. They called out one after another.


    ¡°Director Jiang, are you going out to have lunch?¡±


    ¡°Director Jiang, I just bought some hibiscus steamed buns. Do you want to try them?¡±


    ¡°Director Jiang, I just made a cup of coffee and was about to bring it to you!¡±


    The employees spoke to Jiang Feng warmly as he walked past them. All of them could not help but sigh inwardly. He was so wealthy, and yet he was so low-key and magnanimous. He was also very good to the employees and did not put on airs. He treated everyone with respect. He was an ideal boss.


    Needless to say, all of them respected Jiang Feng even more. Who would have thought the person working next to them for so long was so capable and even became their boss? Compared to Zhang Qidong, they loved Jiang Feng even more.


    ¡­


    While Jiang Feng was greeting the employees and leaving the company, Zhu Hongda was taking the elevator down with his things in hand.


    At the same time, outside of the company, Yu Jia was pacing around in circles. This morning, she had made an appointment with Zhu Hongda to have a meal. However, it was past 1 PM now, she still did not see him. His phone was also turned off. In the end, she simply came to the company and waited for him outside.


    Yu Jia had just caught the fat pig, Zhu Hongda, so she was afraid he would dump her. She had just gotten her hands on this huge golden egg so she was really unwilling to let it go now.


    Apart from that, Yu Jia also took pleasure in the thought of meeting the dejected Jiang Feng here. Last night, she had said a lot of bad things about Jiang Feng to Zhu Hongda. She had even made up stories and framed Jiang Feng to fan Zhu Hongda¡¯s hatred toward Jiang Feng, hoping Zhu Hongda would deal with Jiang Feng for her. In her opinion, with Zhu Hongda¡¯s position and ability, it would not be a problem for him to deal with Jiang Feng. It would not even be a problem for him to fire Jiang Feng. She really hoped that would happen.


    Apart from that, now that she was with Zhu Hongda, she could also humiliate Jiang Feng, that poor boy. Not only was she going to make sure he stayed poor, but she was going to shatter his pride as well.


    Yin Jia had come up with this plan to kill Jiang Feng. As long as he was punished, she would not go too far.


    Yu Jia continued to wait anxiously outside the company for Zhu Hongda as she imagined Jiang Feng¡¯s pitiful expression.


    When more than ten minutes had passed, Yu Jia grew even more anxious. She was still wondering if she should enter the company to look for Zhu Hongda when she caught a glimpse of a figure walking out. She took another look and saw the fat Zhu Hongda.


    At this moment, Zhu Hongda was holding a box of files and personal items in his hands. When he looked up, his eyes met Yu Jia¡¯s eyes immediately.

 Chapter 42 - Who’s Jiang Feng?

    Zhu Hongda was stunned when he saw Yu Jia. After a moment, he finally remembered that they had a lunch date today. However, he was no longer in the mood to eat at this moment. Most importantly, he was filled with anger as soon as he saw her. She was the reason he had offended Jiang Feng today and was fired by Zhang Qidong. If it were not for her instigation last night, he would not have looked for trouble with Jiang Feng. If he did not listen to her and went to work as usual, he would still be working in the company.


    Thinking of how wealthy Jiang Feng was, how good Jiang Feng was to his employees, and how the future of the company was very bright, Zhu Hongda grew even angrier. Now he had lost everything because of Yu Jia. He had worked in Cinda Financial for seven to eight years now, and it was not easy for him to rise to the position of manager. Just like that, he had lost everything.


    Zhu Hongda really felt like his lungs were going to explode from anger when he looked at the b*tch in front of him. His originally lifeless now were now burning with anger.


    1


    Yu Jia was also surprised by Zhu Hongda¡¯s sudden appearance. However, she recovered quickly and forced a smile on her face. She did not notice Zhu Hongda¡¯s abnormal behavior and ran over happily. She became even happier when she saw the box of things in his hands. Without even thinking, she asked excitedly, ¡°These are Jiang Feng¡¯s things, right? This is great! Jiang Feng, that brat, spoke ill of you and bullied me. I guess he must have already been fired?¡±


    After a pause, Yu Jia asked, ¡°However, I really didn¡¯t expect you to personally throw out his things. Do you plan to humiliate him?¡±


    Yu Jia could not contain her joy at all, thinking that Jiang Feng was fired. It was the best thing that happened today. She was so excited as she looked at the things in Zhu Hongda¡¯s hands that she failed to notice Zhu Hongda¡¯s expression that was becoming increasingly dark.


    Zhu Hongda could barely control his anger at this moment. If his eyes could kill, Yu Jia would already be dead at this time.


    At this time, the sound of footsteps rang from the entrance of the company building.


    Yu Jia looked over and saw Jiang Feng walking out. With this, she was even more certain that Jiang Feng had been fired. She was convinced that Zhu Hongda was throwing Jiang Feng things away to humiliate Jiang Feng in front of her and shatter Jiang Feng¡¯s pride. She really could not suppress her joy at all. The pleasure from the revenge made her forget herself completely.


    When Jiang Feng was about 30 feet away, Yu Jia said mockingly, ¡°Yo, isn¡¯t this the hotshot Jiang Feng whose house was demolished? The compensation isn¡¯t enough to pay off your family debts, and you even lost your job. You¡¯re really unlucky.¡±


    Jiang Feng looked up and saw Yu Jia, who was no different from a stranger to him now. He was puzzled. Why was she here and what was she talking about? In any case, he did not have any intention to pay attention to her since he had broken up with that gold digger; he had long forgotten about her. He ignored her mocking words and continued to walk.


    Yu Jia felt very smug when she saw Jiang Feng walking away. In her eyes, Jiang Feng was avoiding her because he was too ashamed to face her. She did not have any scruples and began to vent the anger in her heart as she said, ¡°Jiang Feng, your poor country bumpkin! Now you know that there are consequences to offending me, Yu Jia! Where¡¯s your previous arrogance? Why don¡¯t you show it now?¡±


    Yu Jia laughed before she continued to say, ¡°If I can make you lose your job today, I can make you sleep on the streets tomorrow.¡±


    Yu Jia pointed at him and continued to scold him loudly, ¡°Remember this. This is only the beginning of my revenge! I have plenty of time to mess with you in the future!¡±


    Yu Jia¡¯s eyes shone with pride as she looked at Jiang Feng contemptuously.


    Jiang Feng, on the other hand, continued walking. Although he was really baffled by her words, he did not intend to pay attention to that b*tch. Ever since he got in touch with Lin Miaoxue again, he finally knew what a good woman was like. Compared to Lin Miaoxue, Yu Jia was just like a firefly in front of the moon.


    Jiang Feng only had Lin Miaoxue in his heart now. He had completely removed Yu Jia from his mind. No matter what Yu Jia said, the best way to deal with her was to ignore her. When he walked past her, he did not even spare her a single glance, and his feet did not stop walking. He crossed the road, holding the key to his Pagani.


    An hour ago, Jiang Feng had asked a designated driver to bring his car over. He had a spare key at home. He had already informed his parents as well. It would be more convenient for him today if he had the car.


    As expected, Yu Jia was rather unhappy when she saw Jiang Feng ignoring her. She had imagined that Jiang Feng would be flustered and embarrassed when she ridiculed him. She did not expect that he would be so indifferent or that he would ignore her completely as though she was not worthy of his attention. Her unhappiness was soon replaced by anger.


    Yu Jia turned to look at Zhu Hongda, and when she saw the dark expression on his face, she assumed that he was angry at Jiang Feng as well. Hence, she began to complain, ¡°Look at him! I¡¯m so angry! He actually dares to ignore me! Who does he think he is? Not only did he bully me, but he also disrespected you! That poor bast*rd is nothing! Knowing him, he¡¯s probably going to speak ill of you and curse you.¡±


    Yu Jia continued to stoke the flames of Zhu Hongda¡¯s anger. She really hoped that Zhu Hongda would teach Jiang Feng a lesson.


    At this moment, Zhu Hongda finally lost control of his anger. Last night, she had instigated him in this manner as well. Today, she used the same trick again. Was she trying to kill him? Who was Jiang Feng? If he offended Jiang Feng again, he was afraid that he would be banned from this industry.


    Thump!


    Finally, Zhu Hongda looked at the b*tch in front of him and dropped the box in his hand to the ground.


    The sudden loud noise stunned Yu Jia, and she stopped talking abruptly. She looked at Zhu Hongda fearfully.


    ¡°Can you f*cking get lost?!¡± Zhu Hongda bellowed as he slapped Yu Jia.


    Yu Jia fell to the ground before she held her hand to her burning cheek. A distinct red handprint could be seen on her face at this moment. She looked at Zhu Hongda in shock and horror.

 Chapter 43 - That’s Jiang Feng’s F*cking Car! You B*tch, Scram!

    Yu Jia was both afraid and angry after being slapped by Zhu Hongda. She also did not understand why he suddenly slapped her. She really wanted to curse, but she forcefully swallowed the words in her mouth when she recalled Zhu Hongda was a wealthy man. She could not lose this financial backer no matter what.


    When she was with Jiang Feng for a few months, Yu Jia pretended to be innocent so all the money spent was hers. Her loans and other debts were long overdue. She had thought she would be able to profit after Jiang Feng¡¯s family was compensated for the demolition of their house. However, she did not expect Jiang Feng would lose everything in just a blink of an eye. Now, she had no way to repay her loan. Only Zhu Hongda could help her.


    For this reason, Yu Jia would not allow the wealthy man in front of her to run away. No matter how angry she was, she had to swallow her anger and force herself to calm down. Her hand was still covering her cheek as she slowly rose to her feet. Tears were already brimming in her eyes as she looked at Zhu Hongda with an aggrieved expression. She asked tearfully, ¡°What did I do wrong? You can just tell me. There¡¯s no need to hit me.¡±


    Yu Jia wiped her tears that kept falling. Anyone who saw her pitiful appearance at this moment would feel compelled to forgive her immediately. Alas, today was a bitter day for Zhu Hongda after he lost his job. How could he forgive her? Instead, he started cursing angrily, ¡°You f*cking harmed me! What did I do to offend you?! B*tch, I¡¯m really unlucky to have met you! Get lost! Don¡¯t let me see you again. I feel disgusted when I see you!¡±


    Zhu Hongda did not even want to explain to Yu Jia. After cursing a few more times, he picked up the box and walked away.


    Seeing this, Yu Jia quickly moved to stop Zhu Hongda. She cried again with her superb acting skills and appearance. She held Zhu Hongda¡¯s arm as she cried and said with an aggrieved expression, ¡°I was wrong, okay? Tell me what¡¯s wrong, and I promise I¡¯ll change. Don¡¯t be like this. Tell me so I can change. You can¡¯t leave me.¡±


    Yu Jia was very unwilling to let Zhu Hongda go. No matter what, she had to stay with Zhu Hongda and obtain his money.


    Zhu Hongda had long lost his patience with Yu Jia. Although he had to admit that she looked very pitiful, his anger still did not go away.


    At this moment, the roar of an engine rang from across the street, attracting the attention of many passersby.


    Yu Jia instinctively turned to look as well. She was very familiar with the sounds of luxury cars, after all. However, she was stunned when she saw Jiang Feng sitting in the car with his sunglasses on. After rolling down his window, he rested one arm on the window as he sped away.


    Yu Jia¡¯s mind was blank, standing rooted to the ground. She was unable to process what she had seen.


    ¡°How¡¯s this possible?!¡±


    Yu Jia shook her head. She could not believe what she had seen. How could Jiang Feng afford a luxury car when he had lost everything? It was impossible. In her opinion, luxury cars belonged to successful people and wealthy people; they had nothing to do with a poor bast*rd like Jiang Feng.


    In the end, Yu Jia concluded that Jiang Feng must have rented the car. Then, she quickly dismissed the idea when she remembered Jiang Feng even had to borrow money to pay for the medical fees. How could he have the money to rent such a car? Soon enough, an idea appeared in her mind. She turned to look at Zhu Hongda and said, ¡°Jiang Feng must have stolen that car!¡±


    Zhu Hongda¡¯s flames of fury rose again when he heard the nonsense coming out of Yu Jia¡¯s mouth. He kicked Yu Jia to the ground and roared, ¡°That¡¯s Jiang Feng¡¯s f*cking car! You b*tch, scram!¡±


    Zhu Hongda strode away after kicking Yu Jia.


    Zhu Hongda had seen how everyone in the company loved Jiang Feng. He also saw how Zhang Qidong defended Jiang Feng. He saw how Jiang Feng spent millions of yuan, paying for his employees¡¯ vacations. He was shocked at that time. He had already guessed what kind of person Jiang Feng was when he was packing his things.


    Jiang Feng was young and wealthy enough to buy the company. In Zhu Hongda¡¯s opinion, Jiang Feng had to be the son of a wealthy family. He might even be a second or fourth-generation rich kid. Things like luxury cars were toys to Jiang Feng.


    It was already too late for Zhu Hongda to regret offending Jiang Feng earlier. He felt chills run up his spine when he thought about offending Jiang Feng further by bringing Jiang Feng¡¯s ex-girlfriend here. He was really worried he would lose his life. He was so afraid that he wanted nothing more than to run away.


    Alas, Yu Jia, who was kicked to the ground, cowered in fear for a few seconds before she rose to her feet tenaciously. Although Zhu Hongda had hit her twice, she had no intention of giving up. Her thoughts of seeking revenge from Jiang Feng had been swept away by the shock of seeing him driving away in a luxury car and her speculation about his wealth. Most importantly, she had to catch her financial backer, Zhu Hongda, now. She absolutely could not let him escape. She needed money. Even if she had to destroy her dignity, it did not matter as long as her goal was achieved.


    Yu Jia chased after Zhu Hongda as soon as she rose to her feet. As she ran, she shouted, ¡°Wait for me! You can¡¯t just leave me!¡±


    Just like that, on the street outside of the company, the fat Zhu Hongda ran away while Yu Jia, who had a handprint on her swollen cheek, chased after him.


    The passersby who saw this strange scene could not help but laugh.


    Meanwhile, the breeze blew in Jiang Feng¡¯s car as he drove. He did not care about the two people playing tag on the street at all. He drove his Pagani away without a care, leaving the fumes from the exhaust behind.


    2

 Chapter 44 - Little Xue, Are You in Love?

    Jiang Feng attracted a lot of attention as he drove the Pagani. He was ready to go home to eat.


    Today, he thought about quitting his job and thought about starting a company. Unexpectedly, he ended up buying the company with the staff intact.


    With Cinda Financial as his starting point, he would save himself a lot of trouble in the future. This week, his investment in Pork Inc. would bring him hundreds of millions. In turn, it would make the company even several times stronger and stabilize his path as an entrepreneur.


    Jiang Feng felt rather happy thinking about this. He pulled to a stop in front of the red light in the street of Shanghai. While he waited for the light to change, he brought his phone out to read. It did not take long before a message notification popped up.


    Lin Miaoxue: Are you off work?


    Jiang Feng could not help but smile when he saw the message.


    Jiang Feng: I just got off work.


    Lin Miaoxu¡¯s reply came swiftly.


    Lin Miaoxu: Did you have lunch yet?


    Jiang Feng: No. I¡¯m just about to go for lunch. What about you?


    Jiang Feng felt warmth suffuse his heart. He could feel her concern. It felt good to have someone ask if he had eaten or not and care about him in these little ways.


    Lin Miaoxue: No. Do you want to have lunch together?


    ¡­


    Lin Miaoxu, who was in her company, felt warm when she read Jiang Feng¡¯s messages. She was a little hesitant, but she still sent that message in the end. She was distracted and could not work at all the entire morning. Her mind was filled with things related to Jiang Feng. She felt somewhat depressed when she thought about Jiang Feng possibly losing his job. The more she thought about him, the more she wanted to see him.


    ¡­


    At the same time, Jiang Feng smiled when he saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s message. He wondered why she invited him for lunch. After all, it would take him about 20 minutes to drive to her company. Nonetheless, he was very happy that she took the initiative to invite him out. This meant that she had a good impression of him.


    Jiang Feng: Hm? Are you in a hurry to see me?


    Jiang Feng smiled after sending the message before he began to drive again.


    ¡­


    On the other side, Lin Miaoxue read Jiang Feng¡¯s message and felt like her heart had been exposed. She replied immediately.


    Lin Miaoxue: I don¡¯t want to see you anymore! (angry emoji)


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng could not stop smiling when he read Lin Miaoxue¡¯s message.


    ¡®She¡¯s really too cute!¡¯


    He really did not expect that her aloof and icy exterior hid such a cute girl. She had both good looks and an interesting soul. She could be considered perfect.


    Jiang Feng: I¡¯ll be at your company in a while. Get ready. I¡¯ll take you out for lunch.


    After sending that message, Jiang Feng turned his car around at the intersection and drove toward Quantum Building.


    ¡­


    When Lin Xiaomu saw Jiang Feng¡¯s message, her face turned red immediately. Despite her last message, she really could not wait to see him. She was naturally happy that he was coming to see her now.


    When she thought about Jiang Feng coming to see her, strange thoughts appeared in her mind again. This caused her face to turn even redder and her smile to widen.


    Yang Yiling, who had just eaten lunch, was drinking coffee and browsing on her phone. When she saw something funny, she looked up, intending to share it with Lin Miaoxue. She saw Lin Miaoxue staring at her phone and smiling foolishly with a red face and was reminded of Lin Miaoxue¡¯s abnormal behavior yesterday.


    Yang Yiling hurriedly pulled her chair over and asked in a hushed voice, ¡°Why are you smiling non-stop?¡±


    Lin Miaoxu was startled and instinctively hid her phone. Then, she looked at Yang Yiling with a red face. When she recovered her senses, she pushed Yang Yiling away as she said, ¡°You scared me to death!¡±


    Yang Yiling did not move. Instead, she looked at Lin Miaoxue knowingly and asked, ¡°Little Xue, are you in love?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue shook her head immediately, but Yang Yiling¡¯s keen eyes had already seen through Lin Miaoxue¡¯s thoughts. She looked at Lin Miaoxu unblinkingly and silently.


    Faced with Yang Yiling¡¯s gaze, Lin Miaxoxue quickly averted her gaze. After a moment, she looked at Yang Yiling and muttered, ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know if he likes me¡­¡±


    Yang Yiling laughed when she saw Lin Miaoxue¡¯s timid appearance. She finally stumbled upon a piece of interesting gossip today. She asked curiously, ¡°Who made a beautiful woman like you lose her mind? Hmm? Let me have a look!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face turned even redder when she heard Yang Yiling¡¯s words.

 Chapter 45 - You Look Beautiful Every Day

    ¡®I really didn¡¯t expect it to be like this. It seems like fate brought us together,¡¯ Lin Miaoxue thought to herself.


    Lin Miaoxue continued chatting idly with Yang Yu Ling. She only told her a few trivial details and did not reveal anything about Jiang Feng.


    However, Yang Yiling grew very curious about Jiang Feng¡¯s appearance as they continued to chat. To be able to make a beauty like Lin Miaoxue fall in love, he must be extraordinary. She was about to ask Lin Miaoxu to show her his photo again when Lin Miaoxue¡¯s phone suddenly rang.


    Lin Miaoxue saw the caller ID, and a smile appeared on her face instantly. She hurriedly answered the call.


    As soon as the call connected, Jiang Feng said directly, ¡°I¡¯m downstairs.¡±


    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll be right down,¡± Lin Miaoxue quickly replied. After she ended the call, she saw Yang Yiling smiling at her with a knowing expression on her face.


    ¡°His voice alone sounded so charming. No wonder a beauty like you fell in love,¡± Yang Yiling said. She felt slightly envious inwardly.


    ¡°I¡¯m not going to talk to you anymore. I¡¯m leaving,¡± Lin Miaoxue said with a chuckle. She picked up her bag on the table and quickly walked past Yang Yiling.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s slightly anxious footsteps attracted the attention of her colleagues near her. When they saw the smile on her face, they were puzzled.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter with our team leader? She¡¯s so anxious,¡± one of them muttered, perplexed.


    ¡°The team leader has been acting strangely over the past two days. Something must be up¡­¡±


    They began to gather and discuss among themselves after that.


    ¡­


    Lin Miaoxue was filled with joy as she waited for the elevator. At this time, she received a message from Liu Xinyao.


    Liu Xinyao: You really disappoint me. How can you be like this? You can¡¯t even take him down? Wait a minute. I¡¯ll teach you!


    Lin Miaoxu smiled wryly when she read the message. She was about to reply when Liu Xinyao sent her a few messages in a row. To be precise, Liu Xinyao sent her links to several articles.


    Liu Xinyao: How to Subdue a Man in One Move


    Liu Xinyao: Learn These Tricks, and You¡¯ll Catch the Man of Your Dreams


    Liu Xinyao: Understand a Man¡¯s Mind


    Liu Xinyao: I¡¯ll Teach You How to Catch a Man. If I Fail, You Can Chop Me Up


    When Lin Miaoxu read the strange titles, her expression turned a little twisted. She hurriedly replied.


    Lin Miaoxue: What are you doing? Can you be serious?


    Liu Xinyao: Don¡¯t talk so much. Hurry up and learn. You can use these tricks after you learn them. Trust Princess Yaoyao. These articles are all useful.


    Lin Miaoxue could not help but feel curious after reading Liu Xinyao¡¯s last message. After hesitating for a moment, she clicked on one of the links. She was shocked by the content. There were all kinds of flirting tips, words, ways to initiate physical contact, and exciting positions. In short, they were indescribable.


    For an innocent girl like Lin Miaoxue who had never come in contact with these things, this article opened up a new world for her. Her face turned red and her heart began to pound in her chest again. Even her neck felt itchy.


    When the elevator reached the first floor, she quickly forced herself to calm down. When she finally walked outside, she saw Jiang Feng and his car tens of feet away. She quickly closed the app on her phone and kept her phone in the bag. She tidied her hair before she finally walked over.


    When she arrived in front of Jiang Feng, she could not even meet his eyes. She felt extremely shy. She cursed inwardly, ¡®This is all Liu Xinyao¡¯s fault!¡¯


    She tried to act normal as she greeted Jiang Feng. ¡°You came so quickly.¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at the lovely person in front of him and could not help but feel slightly moved. Her hair was tied up today, and she looked like the female lead of an idol drama. She was truly beautiful; she was a refreshing beauty. He said teasingly, not stingy with his praise, ¡°Are you the female lead of an idol drama? You¡¯re really beautiful today.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face turned red again, and her heart surged with joy when she heard Jiang Feng¡¯s words. She looked at him before she quickly lowered her head. She tried to stay calm as she said softly, ¡°I¡¯m only beautiful today?¡±


    The corners of Jiang Feng¡¯s lips curled up into a smile when he heard the crisp voice that carried a hint of doubt. He said, ¡°Of course not. You look beautiful every day. If only I could see you every day.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face turned even redder. She only smiled shyly and did not say anything else.


    Looking at the bashful expression on her face, Jiang Feng no longer teased her. He knew when to stop. Once the atmosphere was right, one did not need to say much. Then, he turned around and opened the door for her like a gentleman before returning to the driver¡¯s seat. After he started the engine, he drove away skillfully.


    However, the duo was unaware that all of their movements had been seen by Lin Miaoxu¡¯s team members who were looking out the window. All of them exclaimed one after another, attracting the attention of their colleagues.


    ¡°Heavens! Hurry up and have a look! This is a big deal!¡±

 Chapter 46 - Ways to Flirt With Men

    Everyone looked out the window at the luxury car downstairs.


    Someone who recognized Jiang Feng¡¯s car exclaimed, ¡°That¡¯s the Pagani from yesterday, right? It¡¯s the latest limited edition supercar! So cool!¡±


    ¡°Wow! It¡¯s really cool! Why did it come again today?¡±


    ¡°Wait! Isn¡¯t that our team leader standing next to the car?¡± someone said.


    With this, the others finally noticed Lin Miaoxue. Everyone¡¯s attention shifted to her immediately. Alas, they were in the building so they could not eavesdrop on the conversation.


    ¡°It¡¯s really the team leader!¡±


    ¡°Heavens! Is she dating that guy?!¡± someone exclaimed excitedly after seeing the duo standing close together.


    ¡°This is huge news! Team Leader Lin is so innocent. To think that she¡¯s fallen in love!¡±


    The crowd was very excited and began to gossip among themselves. They only moved away from the window after the car sped away. However, their excitement did not diminish. They returned to their seats and continued gossiping.


    Yang Yiling, who had been curious since earlier, was naturally looking out the window as well earlier. When she saw Jiang Feng¡¯s appearance and the luxury car, she was also slightly shocked. After thinking about it, she thought it was only a matter of course. After all, the man whom Lin Miaoxue liked had to be outstanding. Not only was he handsome, but he was also wealthy.


    When Yang Yiling sat in her seat and looked at Lin Miaoxue¡¯s empty seat, she could not help but feel a little sour in her heart.


    At the same time, the others were still gossiping fervently.


    ¡°He¡¯s too handsome! He has an extraordinary bearing as well.¡±


    ¡°Indeed. He drives a luxury car, but he¡¯s also a gentleman. He must treat Lin Miaoxue quite well.¡±


    ¡°Well, wealthy people have to get married as well. As a single person, I feel like crying after witnessing this!¡±


    ¡°Lin Miaoxue is so beautiful. She¡¯s indeed worthy of such a man.¡±


    ¡°I wonder who he is. I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen such a rich second generation in Shanghai¡­¡±


    ¡°What do we know about the inner circle of the wealthy? We know nothing.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was mostly aloof so this fueled everyone¡¯s desire to gossip even more. Moreover, Lin Miaoxue and Jiang Feng were both good-looking. Her background was quite good, and based on Jiang Feng¡¯s car, his background should be very good. The two were simply a match made in heaven.


    Needless to say, there were a few people who had different thoughts.


    ¡°What¡¯s so great? Isn¡¯t it just being a relationship? Maybe they¡¯ll break up after a few days!¡±


    ¡°That man is so handsome! His car is worth tens of millions! If only I were Lin Miaoxue.¡±


    ¡°Who knows what¡¯s going on between them? I think Lin Miaoxue is the one pursuing him¡­¡±


    Those who were jealous naturally spoke ill of Lin Miaoxue behind her back. A few other team leaders, who were competing with Lin Miaoxue, spoke rather unpleasantly about her.


    All in all, there was a commotion in the office. After all, the company¡¯s beauty was involved in the matter. In just a short time, the matter of Lin Miaoxue dating an unknown man quickly stirred up a storm in the company.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng drove Lin Miaoxue to a nearby seafood restaurant.


    Lin Miaoxue was not busy and did not have many things to do in the afternoon, and Jiang Feng also was not in a rush. They could both take their time to enjoy the food.


    Jiang Feng took the menu from the waiter and handed it to Lin Miaoxue, ¡°What would you like to eat?¡±


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you order? I¡¯m not picky,¡± Lin Miaoxu said, waving her hand.


    Jiang Feng looked at the menu. There were all kinds of dishes and sets on the menu. After a moment, he said, ¡°Give me two of your biggest Chinese mitten crabs.¡±


    After that Jiang Feng told Lin Miaoxue to speak if there was anything she did not like about the dishes he ordered. She only nodded but did not say anything. Instead, she looked at him silently.


    ¡°I want the raw tuna as well. Oh, and the signature grilled fish,¡± Jiang Feng said as he flipped through the menu, ordering quite a few dishes. Now that he had money, there was no need to save money when eating. Moreover, with Lin Miaoxue around, what mattered was being happy.


    ¡°Sir, can you come with me to choose the live seafood?¡± the waiter said after writing down Jiang Feng¡¯s order.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go and choose. You¡¯ve been driving for so long so you should sit and rest,¡± Lin Miaoxue quickly said and rose to her feet.


    Seeing that she had taken the initiative, Jiang Feng did not refuse and nodded.


    With Jiang Feng¡¯s nod of assent, Lin Miaoxue followed the waiter to the back.


    The waiter said, ¡°Beauty, the crabs are here, and the fishes are over there. Tell me which one you want.¡±


    ¡°Pick the biggest ones please and fish them out for me,¡± Lin Miaoxue replied, directly pushing the task to the waiter. Then, she brought her phone out and discreetly opened the article from earlier that Liu Xinyao sent her.


    This was not the first time the waiter met customers like Lin Miaoxue so he quickly picked the seafood for her.


    Meanwhile, Lin Miaoxue stood at the side and continued reading the article about ways to flirt with men.

 Chapter 47 - When I See Her, I’ll Have to

    Lin Miaoxue frowned as she looked at the various flirting techniques, carefully selecting the ones that seemed useful. She muttered under her breath from time to time as though she was complaining about something. She had never paid attention to these things before so there was a sense of novelty to it. At the same time, she felt unsure if these techniques were useful.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s company had been targeted so his company must be in a bad situation. Hence, Lin Miaoxue thought that Jiang Feng might feel a little unhappy in his heart. She hoped she would be able to coax him and make him happy today. Naturally, that was not the only reason; she had her own selfish reason as well. She was very curious, and life was about trying new things.


    Lin Miaoxue continued browsing for a long time until she found an article, How to Make Your Boyfriend Happy. She quickly clicked on it and began to read. The first line of the article hooked her attention immediately. It was exactly what she needed.


    ¡°When dining with your boyfriend, you have to show your beautiful and feminine side. It¡¯s okay to show a little weakness to arouse your boyfriend¡¯s protective instinct. If you allow him to protect you, you¡¯ll give him a sense of accomplishment.¡±


    ¡°Appearance and subtle actions are important. Small details can move a man¡¯s heart. Not only will he find you beautiful, but he¡¯ll feel happy as well.¡±


    ¡°When you¡¯re eating, tuck your hair behind your ears as you look up at him shyly. Remember to smile. You can also pretend that there¡¯s something on his face and lean over to help him wipe it off.¡±


    ¡°Unbutton the top button of your shirt. When you lean down, remember to look up at him. It¡¯ll definitely make his heart flutter. A woman¡¯s charm is like drugs to a man. Men would forget all unhappy things at this moment!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue blushed as she read the very detailed passage. She had to take a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Then, she wondered inwardly, perplexed, ¡®What is this? Is this really enough to make someone happy?¡¯


    Still feeling shy, she exited the page. At this time, she received a message from Liu Xinyao.


    Liu Xinyao: Oh ho! I saw you¡¯ve already read a few articles. How is it? Tell me about your boyfriend¡¯s reaction later, okay?


    ¡­


    At this very moment, Liu Xinyao was looking at her phone with a mischievous smile on her face when she saw that Lin Miaoxue had read the articles she had sent.


    Soon enough, a reply came.


    Lin Miaoxue: What kind of nonsense did you send me? I was just taking a look.


    Liu Xinyao¡¯s smile widened when she saw Lin Miaoxue pretending to be serious. Based on her understanding of Lin Miaoxue, she was quite certain Lin Miaoxue was going to take the advice of the articles she had sent.


    She was very curious. How would her good friend, who was aloof and simple on the outside but warm on the inside, act when faced with the person she liked? It was even more interesting when she thought about the strange techniques her good friend was going to use.


    Seeing that there was no more reply from Lin Miaoxue, she murmured, ¡°When I see her, I have to interrogate her!¡±


    ¡­


    Lin Miaoxue exited WeChat and could not help but look at the article again. After a moment, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her.


    The waiter saw Jiang Feng walking over and took the initiative to say, ¡°Sir, I¡¯ve already fished out the fish and crabs you chose.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, Lin Miaoxue hurriedly put her phone away. She adjusted her state of mind before she turned around to look at Jiang Feng.


    ¡°You were away for quite a while so I came over to have a look. I thought something was wrong,¡± Jiang Feng said as he strode over.


    Lin Miaoxue felt warmth suffuse her heart when she heard his words. She quickly replied, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I was just taking my time choosing.¡±


    Then, she quickly followed Jiang Feng back to the dining table,


    Meanwhile, the waiter brought the chosen fish and crab to the kitchen so the chef could cook them.


    Lin Miaoxue, who was sitting at the dining table, felt a little restless at this moment. Her heart was in a mess as various thoughts raced through her mind. When Jiang Feng went to the bathroom, she quickly drank some water to calm down. This was the first time she was having a meal with the intention to flirt. Her little heart was naturally not calm. The articles she read disturbed her mind even more. Moreover, she did not have a chance to observe Jiang Feng earlier.


    She calmed down slightly after drinking the water.


    After a short while, Jiang Feng returned to the table. Then, he ordered two glasses of fruit juice.


    Lin Miaoxue looked a little awkward at this moment as she pretended to feel warm. She fanned herself as she casually unbuttoned the top button of her shirt, revealing her fair skin. With this, she looked more relaxed and less formal. Her prominent collarbones were revealed along with her graceful neck. She looked particularly charming at this moment.


    At this time, Jiang Feng looked at her as he handed her a glass of fruit juice. Coincidentally, his eyes fell on her chest.


    Lin Miaoxue felt her heart skip a beat when she saw the direction of his gaze. Just when she thought he was going to look a little longer, she saw him politely shifting his gaze away.

 Chapter 48 - Why Is Your Face So Red? Do You

    Lin Miaoxue could not help but feel slightly frustrated and disappointed when Jiang Feng looked away, completely unaffected. She could not help but wonder if it was because she was not attractive enough. She paid a lot of attention to her figure and her skin, but he only glanced at her briefly before looking away.


    ¡°Drink some fruit juice. I¡¯m not drinking any alcohol today since I¡¯m driving, but do you want to drink it?¡± Jiang Feng asked with a smile, nudging the glass of fruit juice closer to her. His gaze did not fall past her neck at all. After all, it was basic decency. The first glance was instinctive, but the second one would be rude.


    ¡°I don¡¯t drink alcohol. Fruit juice is fine,¡± Lin Miaoxue said with a nod. She took a sip of the fruit juice to ease her nervous heart.


    The two chatted casually.


    Jiang Feng was very calm the entire time.


    After a while, the dishes were served. Two Shanghai mitten crabs, grilled fish, and the other dishes Jiang Feng ordered were brought over one after another.


    ¡°Dip the crab meat into the sauce. It¡¯s really good. The sauce is homemade,¡± Jiang Feng said as he shelled the crab meat. After dipping it into the sauce, he placed it on Lin Miaoxue¡¯s plate.


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°The fish is really delicious as well. Have some.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue nodded happily as she ate the food that Jiang Feng placed on her plate, listening to him talk about the food. After a while, she searched for a topic to talk about. She looked at him and asked, ¡°Jiang Feng, I remember you used to like reading. Do you still read?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Recently, I¡¯ve been reading books on finance and the economy. I¡¯m hoping they¡¯ll help me develop the company. Perhaps, they¡¯ll help me solve some of the problems the company is facing recently,¡± Jiang Feng replied immediately.


    Lin Miaoxue felt quite uncomfortable seeing Jiang Feng still thinking of ways to help the company. After all, she knew that in a few days, the company would be gone. What was the point of thinking about the company¡¯s development when he would lose his job soon?


    They were having a good time now, and she did not want to spoil the mood. Hence, she did not want to tell Jiang Feng about the matter yet. She quickly changed the topic and asked, ¡°Well, do you still watch anime? You used to like watching them.¡±


    ¡°Not anymore. At that time, I watched them as a way to relax so I won¡¯t get too stressed from studying,¡± Jiang Feng replied after thinking for a while.


    ¡°It seems like the person who¡¯s obsessed about One Piece is gone.¡±


    1


    Jiang Feng laughed heartily upon hearing her words. ¡°My youth is a thing of the past¡­¡±


    However, after Jiang Feng¡¯s laughter subsided, he felt slightly melancholic and nostalgic. In the past, he really liked watching anime. They made him very happy, especially when he was stressed about his studies. However, after he began to work, he had to submit to life and reality. He had to work overtime every day. Let alone watching anime, he did not even have time to eat at that time. With that, the simple happiness from his youth gradually faded with time.


    Jiang Feng sighed inwardly and shook his head slightly to dismiss his thoughts before he continued to eat. Outwardly, he still maintained a smile on his face, looking sunny and handsome.


    However, Lin Miaoxue caught the slight change in his expression. She could see a hint of melancholy on his face early. She was even more unconvinced that he was unhappy in his heart. She thought that he was only putting on a cheerful act because they were together. With these thoughts in mind, her urge to make him happy and comfort him grew even stronger. Alas, she did not know what to say or do to make him feel better. In the end, she could only find another topic.


    While they were chatting, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s heart was about to leap out of her chest. When the moment was right, she suddenly feigned an expression of surprise and said, ¡°Ah! There¡¯s something on your face.¡±


    Following that, she followed the instructions from the article. She rose to her feet and leaned over, getting ready to wipe away the non-existent thing on Jiang Feng¡¯s face. Due to her nervousness and closeness to him, her movements were slightly clumsy as she leaned forward.


    As soon as she leaned forward, her bangs slid to the front, blocking her vision. At the same time, her long ponytail slid to the front, and the ends fell into the sauce.


    Lin Miaoxue was flustered and embarrassed. She hurriedly reached out to remove her hair from the sauce.


    Jiang Feng wore a strange expression on his face. His gaze, which was originally trained on a certain place, shifted to the table.


    Lin Miaoxue was extremely flustered and embarrassed, but she decided to soldier on. She raised her hand again and wiped Jiang Feng¡¯s face.


    At the same time, Jiang Feng looked up.


    They were only about ten centimeters apart when their eyes met.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face turned red immediately. She quickly withdrew her hand and returned to her seat.


    ¡®You¡¯re an idiot! The instructions were written so clearly, but you still messed up!¡¯ Lin Miaoxue scolded herself inwardly. Her cheeks were still red. In the end, not only did she fail to obtain the desired effect from Jiang Feng, but she even made a mess of herself. To cover up her embarrassment, she was very focused on wiping the end of her hair.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng felt that Lin Miaoxue was rather strange today. Nonetheless, he felt warm when she wiped his face earlier. Her clumsiness only added to her cuteness. He was completely unaware that she was feeling a little dejected at this moment.


    Lin Miaoxue, who failed miserably and embarrassed herself, began to question the article. She suspected that it was nonsense and was purely written to deceive people like her.


    Her head was still lowered as she wiped her hair when Jiang Feng, who was sitting across from her, suddenly rose to his feet and leaned over. Then, he reached out and placed his hand on her forehead.


    ¡°Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?¡± Jiang Feng murmured.


    Lin Miaoxu looked up when she felt the warmth on her forehead. She saw Jiang Feng¡¯s handsome face right in front of her, and their eyes met again. This time, the distance between them was less than ten centimeters. She could even count his eyelashes. She froze, and his warm breath made her face turn even redder. Even her neck was red. Apart from that, her mind went blank, and her heart began to race.


    At this time, Jiang Feng withdrew his hand and sat back down.


    Lin Miaoxue still had yet to recover, looking like she was in a daze. Her mind was still blank, and her heart was still racing. After a while, she thought to herself, ¡®It, it seems like the technique really worked?¡¯

 Chapter 49 - I Didn’t Mean It in That Way

    Jiang Feng leaned back in his seat and looked at Lin Miaoxue¡¯s strange expression. He vaguely understood something, but he only smiled and continued eating.


    Lin Miaoxue slowly broke out of her trance and adjusted her emotions. Although her heart was still soft, she looked much more natural on the surface.


    As Jiang Feng ate the crab legs, he asked casually, ¡°It¡¯s been quite a few years. No one in the university had succeeded in pursuing you?¡±


    ¡°They don¡¯t focus on their studies. Who would pay attention to them if they only have wicked thoughts all day?¡± Lin Miaoxue replied as she rolled her eyes. Then, she remembered something funny so she laughed and asked, ¡°Do you still remember our finance professor, Lu Jiannan, who over-combed his greasy hair every day?¡±


    ¡°How could I forget him? Only that little old man didn¡¯t give me full marks for his class!¡± Jiang Feng replied. After saying that, he saw the amused expression on Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face so he asked, ¡°What¡¯s the matter? I feel like you have something else to say.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue laughed as she brought her phone out and said, ¡°Let me show you the man I met a few days ago at the World Trade Square.¡±


    She showed him a picture of their professor who used to have greasy slicked-back hair. Their professor was now bald.


    Jiang Feng laughed. ¡°He used to care about his hair so much. I didn¡¯t expect his head to be so shiny now.¡±


    ¡°When we met the other day, I almost could not hold back my laughter. He¡¯s grown older as well¡­¡± Lin Miaoxue laughed along with Jiang Feng.


    With this, the awkwardness from earlier instantly disappeared.


    The duo continued chatting about their days in school. Once in a while, cheerful laughter would ring out. They seemed to have many things to talk about that when they left the restaurant, it was already almost 6 PM.


    The sky was slowly darkening when they finally paid the bill and left.


    Jiang Feng took the initiative to send Lin Miaoxue home. It was so late now so there was no need for her to return to the company.


    While sitting in the car, Lin Miaoxue could not help but feel a little disappointed. She had originally learned a few techniques today, hoping to make Jiang Feng happy. In the end, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    She felt slightly frustrated that her plan had failed. At this time, she was like a general who had lost a battle. She sat quietly in the car, and her heart was in a mess as she recalled what had happened during their meal.


    ¡®Am I not charming enough? Or does Jiang Feng just have very high standards? Perhaps, the techniques are useless?¡¯ Lin Miaoxue searched for reasons why she had failed.


    Soon enough, she recalled when Jiang Feng had leaned over earlier to feel her forehead. They were so close to each other that she could feel his warm breath and see his broad chest. Her face and ears turned red again just thinking about this. Clearly, the techniques were not useless.


    While Lin Miaoxue was lost in her thoughts, Jiang Feng had already driven close to the residential area next to the Bund where she was staying. He found a parking spot and parked his car.


    After that, both of them walked toward the entrance of the residential area.


    Lin Miaoxue clasped her hands in front of her, still feeling frustrated. She stole a glance at the calm Jiang Feng and felt even more guilty. If she were not incompetent today, she would have been able to make him happy. Filled with self-blame, she scolded herself inwardly, ¡®You¡¯re too disappointing. You¡¯re really useless!¡¯


    Jiang Feng, who was walking on her left, remained silent. He was also lost in his thoughts, wondering why Lin Miaoxue was acting so strange today. She was very different from how she was the day before. However, he could not put his finger on exactly what was wrong.


    Lin Miaoxue was usually aloof. Although she was gentle to Jiang Feng, she was still somewhat aloof. However, today, she was inexplicably taking the initiative. She was indeed different from before.


    Jiang Feng continued thinking about her actions and expressions and suddenly thought of something.


    ¡®She¡­ Does she like me as well? Was she trying to give me hints earlier? Was she trying to give me a chance to take the initiative?¡¯


    Jiang Feng was not very sure if his speculation was correct. Even if he was right, he was not sure about what to do now. It did not seem like a good time for him to do or say anything now. After all, they had only gotten in touch again recently. It seemed a little too fast.


    That aside, Jiang Feng did not make any preparations today. He did not even have a bouquet of flowers. It seemed a little sloppy if he were to confess today.


    Lin Miaoxue was a good girl. She was the belle of the campus in the past. Not only did the male students like her, but even the female students could not take their eyes off her.


    It was not that Jiang Feng did not like her. It was precisely because she was a very good girl that he wanted to give her the best. He could not just do things sloppily.


    Both people with different thoughts in their minds finally arrived at the entrance of the residential area.


    ¡°We¡¯re here,¡± Jiang Feng said gently as he came to a stop.


    Lin Miaoxue stopped walking and nodded. She glanced at him before she quickly lowered her head, and her hands were clasped tightly. After a few moments, she looked at him with a conflicted expression. Her face was red as she asked softly, ¡°Umm¡­ Do you want to come in and have a cup of coffee?¡±


    She looked at Jiang Feng nervously as soon as she finished speaking.


    Jiang Feng was stunned and his heart skipped a beat when he heard her invitation. When he returned to his senses after two seconds, his expression was serious as he asked, ¡°Miss Lin, do you know what that invitation means?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face turned even redder, and she quickly lowered her head. She was so flustered that she could not meet Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes at all. Her thoughts were exposed by Jiang Feng with just one question. After a moment, she stammered, ¡°W-what? I¡­ I didn¡¯t mean it in that way¡­.¡±


    ¡°Hm?¡± Seeing her flustered and shy expression, Jiang Feng lowered his head and leaned closer to her before he repeated his question in a gentle tone.


    Countless thoughts raced through Lin Miaoxue¡¯s mind at this time. When she calmed down, she bit her lip before she raised her head to look at Jiang Feng with her big eyes and replied softly and shyly, ¡°Yes.¡±

 Chapter 50 - hat? You Bought the Company?

    Jiang Feng looked at the shy Lin Miaoxue. Her voice was too soft earlier so he did hear her. He could not guess what she had said so he asked, ¡°What did you say?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue looked at the clueless Jiang Feng and felt suffocated. She was going to say it again, but she held back. She turned around to calm down a little before she faced him again. Then, she said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t take it the wrong way. I just invited you over because you¡¯re in a bad mood.¡±


    ¡°Huh? Why do you think I¡¯m in a bad mood?¡± Jiang Feng was puzzled. He thought he acted very normally today and did not understand what he had done to make her think she was in a bad mood. As such, he looked at her with a strange expression.


    Since things had come to this point, Lin Miaoxue did not pretend anymore. She said tentatively, ¡°Isn¡¯t there something wrong with your company recently? It¡¯s facing a huge crisis, right? Things must be bad in your company now. How can you not be in a bad mood when you¡¯re about to lose your job?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue did not reveal the company¡¯s secrets. It was illegal, and if it was found out, it would be a big problem. One might even be sentenced to a few years in prison. In any case, the bankruptcy of the company would not affect Jiang Feng too much. At most, he would feel a little sad.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s expression turned even stranger upon hearing her words. He did not expect that even Lin Miaoxue knew about his company. This meant that Zhang Qidong had been borrowing from a lot of people, and many people in the industry knew about it.


    However, he had already resolved the crisis this morning. Hence, he laughed and said with a smile, ¡°Indeed, there was a huge crisis. However, I resolved it this morning.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was stunned by Jiang Feng¡¯s words. As someone in the finance industry, her knowledge was quite high. The only way to solve this crisis was to have someone invest money. The company needed a large amount of money to repay its debts, and this alone required more than 100 million. Then, to operate, the company would still need at least hundreds of millions. If there was no money for the company to operate, even if the debts had been repaid, the company would still go bankrupt in the future.


    After receiving the news, she had looked at Cinda Financial. Based on the company¡¯s output value, she estimated that one needed at least hundreds of millions to acquire the company. Naturally, in a state of crisis, the value would be much lower, but it would still be a huge sum of money.


    Based on the information she received, Luo Yuchang had prepared a budget of 300 million. He planned to buy it with 100 million and used the remaining money for operation cost.


    Jiang Feng did not have so much money. She could not figure out how he had resolved the crisis.


    The more Lin Miaoxue thought about it, the more incredulous she became. She looked at Jiang Feng in confusion and asked, ¡°You resolved the crisis? How did you do it?¡±


    ¡°I acquired the company for 100 million. The company is still in operation so the crisis is resolved,¡± Jiang Feng replied nonchalantly with a smile on his face. He did not feel the need to hide the truth from Lin Miaoxue. Moreover, to him, it was not a big deal to spend a hundred or two hundred million.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s eyes widened and she covered her mouth in shock. She asked in disbelief, ¡°You used only 100 million to buy the company and resolve the crisis? Without any working capital, won¡¯t there be problems with the company¡¯s operation in the future?¡±


    ¡°Well, I invested 100 million, bringing the company out of the deficit. Now, the company made a lot of profit so there¡¯s no problem in running it. In fact, it¡¯s much better than before,¡± Jiang Feng explained briefly in a nonchalant tone.


    ¡°This is unbelievable! You¡¯re a genius. As expected of the top student of our department. You turn a loss into a profit in such a short time. That¡¯s great!¡± Lin Miaoxue was filled with praise for Jiang Feng. Apart from feeling shocked, she was also very happy that Jiang Feng managed to turn the tide, becoming the boss in just one night. Moreover, the company was in an even better state now. As expected, the man she liked was truly extraordinary.


    For him to turn a loss into a profit in such a short time, his ability was unimaginable. She really could not even imagine how he had done it. She did not ask about it now since this kind of thing could not be explained with just a few words. What was important to her was knowing Jiang Feng was fine.


    When she calmed down slightly, she suddenly felt foolish when she thought about how she had been trying to make him happy because she assumed he was in a bad mood. She had been clumsy when executing the techniques she learned and had embarrassed herself. It was a huge mistake. Fortunately, Jiang Feng did not notice it. Thinking about this, she sighed in relief inwardly.


    Jiang Feng said with a smile, ¡°Now that I¡¯m in charge of Cinda Financial, you¡¯re welcome to visit any time.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue pouted and said jokingly, ¡°I can¡¯t. If my boss finds out, he¡¯ll think I¡¯m colluding with the enemy.¡±


    However, as soon as she finished speaking, she thought of something. Her expression changed, and her heart tightened. The relief she had just felt vanished without a trace, and she began to worry about Jiang Feng again.


    Now that Jiang Feng owned Cinda Financial, what would her boss, Luo Yuchang, who wanted to annex Cinda Financial, do when he found out about this?


    Luo Yuchang had been planning this for a long time. He had spent a lot of money preparing this trap and was just waiting to reap the reward. However, his careful preparations were ruined by Jiang Feng, cutting away his profits. With his personality, he would see this as a great humiliation. There was no doubt he would hate Jiang Feng¡¯s guts. He was ruthless, unscrupulous, and not easy to deal with. What would he do to Jiang Feng? He definitely would not let go of the piece of meat that was about to be sent into his mouth. He would definitely target Cinda Financial and Jiang Feng.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s heart felt very heavy when she thought about these things. She had learned a lot of her company¡¯s secrets during her conversation with Yang Yiling today. She had heard that Luo Yuchang had sought revenge from other people, cornering them until they had no choice but to jump off a building.


    Lin Miaoxue grew even more worried about Jiang Feng. He was so young and had just graduated not too long ago. She acknowledged that he was highly talented and knowledgeable, but he seemed inexperienced compared to those cunning people who had been in the industry for a long time. She did not think he would be able to deal with Luo Yuchang. He would definitely suffer at that time.


    The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. She looked at the smiling Jiang Feng and said seriously, ¡°Jiang Feng, after taking over the company, you have to be very careful! You must always keep your guard up.¡±


    A hint of confusion flashed in Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes when he heard her words. What was there to be careful about? The company¡¯s crisis had been resolved. Moreover, Pork Inc.¡¯s stock prices had soared, and the company profited greatly. He even sent his employees on a vacation. After thinking about it, he felt there was no threat so there was no need to worry too much.


    In the end, Jiang Feng thought that Lin Miaoxue was just worried about him. He did not think there was a deeper meaning behind her words. Hence, he nodded and said with a smile, ¡°I know. Don¡¯t worry about me. I know what to do. The company will flourish in the future.¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at the sky and the street lamps. Seeing that it was quite late, he said with a smile, ¡°I won¡¯t come in for a drink. My parents just moved to the new house today. My little sister is also injured and in a wheelchair. I better go back and take a look.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was still worried. However, since Jiang Feng had other matters to attend to, she could only nod and say, ¡°Then, you should go back early.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. He smiled and waved his hand as he said, ¡°I¡¯ll take my leave then. Goodbye.¡±


    Then, Jiang Feng turned around and walked to his car.


    Lin Miaoxu watched Jiang Feng leave until he drove away in his car. She felt heavy-hearted, and her gaze was worried. She stared at the empty space where the Pagani was parked earlier for a long time before she left as well.


    ¡­


    Kerry Financial Company.


    Luo Yuchang sat in the office, smoking as he flipped through a document. His employees had already left, but he stayed back to prepare for the acquisition of Cinda Financial tomorrow.


    In order to set a trap for Cinda Financial, he had waited for nearly half a year before he found a good opportunity. He had lent Zhang Qidong a total of nearly 20 million. More than 8 million was used for venture capital to confuse Zhang Qidong. In a sense, it could be considered that Zhang Qidong had thrown away more than 8 million.


    However, compared to Luo Yuchang¡¯s huge goal, 8 million was truly not worth mentioning.


    Now that the hole had been dug, and Zhang Qidong had also jumped into it, all Luo Yuchang needed to do was close the net.


    Although everything was in his hands now, he still wanted to maximize his profit. Hence, he was still working. He wanted to buy Cinda Financial at the lowest price possible and drive Zhang Qidong into bankruptcy.


    Luo Yuchang had a professional team of lawyers behind him. Compared to Zhang Qidong, who was now penniless, he had too many tricks up his sleeve.


    At this moment, his phone on the table suddenly rang.


    ¡°How¡¯s the investigation going?¡± Luo Yuchang asked coldly as soon as he answered the call.


    ¡°Boss, Cinda Financial has yet to go bankrupt¡­ They, they seem fine¡­¡±


    ¡°What? He doesn¡¯t have any funds left. He should¡¯ve gone bankrupt this morning. What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Luo Yuchang frowned. He had spoken to his peers so he knew no one would lend Zhang Qidong money. Where did Zhang Qidong get the money to run the company?


    ¡°Boss, according to my investigation, Cinda Financial was very optimistic about Pork Inc.. so they continued to invest a lot of money in it. Now that the stock price is soaring, they made a lot of money and easily solved the problem.¡±


    ¡°What? Continued to invest? Where did Zhang Qidong get the money? F*ck!¡± Luo Yuchang was enraged upon hearing those words. Everything was under his control. How could Zhang Qidong have extra funds? Moreover, Zhang Qidong dared to invest so boldly. This was shocking.


    ¡°Go and investigate immediately. Find out which bast*rd dares to lend Zhang Qidong money! I¡¯ll kill him! Also, investigate their continued investment. Find out what the situation is like,¡± Zhang Qidong barked as his grip around the phone tightened. The flames of fury in his heart could not soar any higher at this moment. He hated it most when things went out of his control.


    ¡°Yes, Boss! I¡¯ll get to it immediately!¡±


    ¡°Does Zhang Qidong think he can escape? No, he can¡¯t escape once he¡¯s targeted by me! No one can escape from my grasp,¡± Luo Yuchang said coldly.


    If he took down Cinda Financial, he would be able to control all the middle and lower-grade resources in the western region of Shanghai. At that time, he would be able to use this chance to open up other companies and obtain more resources.


    He was very confident about acquiring Cinda Financial. Even if Zhang Qidong had the power to turn the table, he would not let Zhang Qidong go.


    ¡°Since he managed to escape this time, we¡¯ll continue to create problems for him. We must not let him escape. We must take down Cinda, understand?¡± Luo Yuchang said coldly in a tone that brooked no argument.


    The person on the other end of the line hurriedly agreed. ¡°Understood, Boss! I¡¯ll make the arrangements immediately.¡±


    ¡­


    The sky was completely dark when Jiang Feng returned to his seaview villa. The lights in the villa had already been turned on. The sea breeze blew against him when he got out of the car and walked to the entrance.


    As soon as Jiang Feng went in, his mother asked, ¡°What took so long? Busy day at work?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just went out with my friend,¡± Jiang Feng said as he changed his shoes in front of the shoe cabinet before walking in.


    ¡°Come and eat. I just finished cooking and was waiting for you to come back,¡± Yu Xiumin said as she walked toward the kitchen.


    Upon hearing this, Jian Jianzhong got up from the couch and put the TV remote control down on the coffee table. He went upstairs, and it did not take long before he brought his daughter down.


    Yu Xiumin had already served the dishes on the dining table. There were about four to five dishes. They were just simple home-cooked dishes, and there were no delicacies. However, compared to the past, they had an extra three meat dishes now.


    Although Jiang Feng had a heavy lunch with Lin Miaoxue, he still sat at the table and slowly ate some food.


    His little sister asked curiously as soon as he sat down, ¡°Brother, how was work today?¡±


    ¡°It was very good. Everything went smoothly,¡± Jiang Feng replied with a smile. Then, he asked, ¡°How are your legs?¡±


    ¡°I feel like I¡¯ll be able to run in two days!¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister said with a smile before she ate.


    ¡°The injured muscles and bones need at least 100 days to heal. You have to take it slow.¡±


    ¡°But the doctor said that I¡¯ll be able to walk in a week or so,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister quickly said.


    ¡°But you can¡¯t overexert yourself. You have to take good care of yourself. You can only walk and run when your bones are strong enough.¡±


    ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister nodded.


    Then, Jiang Feng turned to his father and asked, ¡°Dad, what about your legs?¡±


    Jiang Feng had spoken to the private doctor he hired and asked the doctor to check his father¡¯s leg disease. Although he had been plagued with the disease for a long time, there was still a chance for recovery. Jiang Feng could not ignore the root of the disease from back then.


    Jiang Jianzhong saw his son¡¯s concerned expression and quickly replied, ¡°The doctor did a simple checkup today. Tomorrow, I¡¯ll be going to the hospital for a detailed checkup.¡± Then, he added casually with a smile, ¡°This is an old disease. It¡¯s probably incurable. Little Feng, just take care of your sister¡¯s injury. There¡¯s no need to worry about me. It¡¯s too expensive.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong cherished money and did not think it was necessary to spend so much money to treat himself. It cost several hundred thousand to hire a private doctor, and he felt that it was too expensive. Although his son had money now, he still did not want to spend so much money.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s see how it goes first. We¡¯ll talk about it again after the checkup tomorrow,¡± Jiang Feng said. He understood his father¡¯s thoughts and only said these words perfunctorily to placate his father for now.


    After eating a few spoonfuls of rice, Yu Xiumin asked, ¡°Little Feng, your sister¡¯s school is too far away. Your father and I are thinking about transferring her to a nearby school.¡±


    Jiang Feng immediately realized the problem. The school in his hometown was really too far from their current house. Going to school every day would require an hour¡¯s drive. It was indeed too troublesome, and it would be better for his sister to transfer to a nearby school. Moreover, the schools here were much better than the one in his hometown. His sister would definitely benefit from it.


    Jiang Feng nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s time to transfer school. The schools here are much better than those in our hometown. I¡¯ll speak to my friend tomorrow and inquire about the schools here. Then, we¡¯ll arrange for her transfer.¡±


    His parents did not understand this kind of thing so it was best for him to arrange it. If it was possible, he would like to enroll his sister in a prestigious school. The learning environment would be good, and the teachers would be better as well.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister listened to the conversation about her, but she did not say much. Although she knew it was good for her to transfer school, she could not help but feel a little sad. After all, she would be separated from her friends whom she had known for a long time and move to an unfamiliar place. She was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the new environment.


    While Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister was lost in her thoughts, Yu Xiumin had already changed the topic. She said, ¡°After you announced your bankruptcy the day before yesterday, our relatives didn¡¯t contact us any more. They even ignored your father. However, after you moved yesterday, someone found out so they began to reach out to us again.¡±


    After a pause, she continued to say, ¡°Your third aunt and a few others called today, but I didn¡¯t pick up their calls. I¡¯m guessing they wanted to ask about what happened.¡±


    Yu Xiumin could not help but feel a headache coming on when she spoke about this. Those relatives were really shameless. Their treatment was completely different depending on a person¡¯s wealth.


    ¡°Those shameless people would come back sooner or later. I¡¯ve already expected this. I don¡¯t know where they got the nerve to come to you. In the beginning, they came to congratulate us with gifts. Then, they scolded us and wanted to attack our family. They¡¯re really shameless!¡± Jiang Feng could not help but complain as he set his chopsticks down. He did not have a good impression of those ungrateful and blood-sucking relatives at all. If they dared to come, he would not treat them politely like he did before.


    Jiang Jianzhong sighed upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words. He said, ¡°They¡¯re really shameless. I really want to scold them. However, your second uncle has always been good to our family. When you were young, he helped our family a lot. You can¡¯t forget that.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded and said, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve always remembered Second Uncle¡¯s kindness. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t seen him for a long time. I wonder how he¡¯s doing now.¡±


    Jiang Feng had a deep impression of his second uncle. Not only did his second uncle help his poor family when he was young, but his second uncle also often took him and his younger sister out to play. Their clothes when they were young were also bought by him. He surmised that his second uncle must have loved them very much.


    However, his second uncle traveled a lot for work over the past two years and rarely came back. Jiang Feng also rarely went home after he started university. He had not seen his second uncle for a long time so he did not know how his second uncle was doing.


    Jian Jianzhong nodded upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words before he began to eat again.


    Jiang Feng, who was done eating, set his bowl and chopsticks aside before he looked at his mother and said, ¡°Mom, you don¡¯t have to work in the future. Just stay at home and look after Little Sister.¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled as he looked at his parents and said gently, ¡°When I went to work today, something happened to the company. In the end, I bought the company. In the future, our family will have enough money to spend. You can just stay at home and enjoy yourself.¡±


    As soon as Jiang Feng¡¯s voice fell, Yun Xiumin and Jiang Jianzhong¡¯s hands that were holding the chopsticks froze. They looked at Jiang Feng in shock and even forgot to chew the food in their mouths. It took a while before they regained their senses.


    ¡°What did you say?! You bought the company?!¡±


    ¡°Where did you get so much money?!¡±


    The two elders stared at Jiang Feng and asked in unison. They knew the company that Jiang Feng worked for, and Jiang Feng had also told them that the company made a lot of money every year. They did not understand how or where Jiang Feng obtained the money to buy such a company. This news was too shocking to them.


    ¡°Yes, I bought the company,¡± Jiang Feng said with a smile, ¡°I bought it with the money I made from investing in Bitcoin.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s parents were still worried.


    When Jiang Feng saw their worried expressions, he said reassuringly, ¡°Mom, Dad, don¡¯t worry. There are risks to dabbling in cryptocurrency. After buying the company, I plan to run it well and slowly earn money to support our family. It¡¯s more stable to run my own company than to invest in cryptocurrency. I¡¯ll earn a lot of money as well. At the very least, my family won¡¯t have to worry about money.¡±


    The couple exchanged a look, still shocked. At the same time, they also felt satisfied and happy. After all, their son did not just go out and enjoy life after becoming rich. Instead, he bought a new home and hired a doctor for them. He even had the thought of working hard to earn money so he could take care of his family.


    Both of them felt that Jiang Feng had truly grown up. He was no longer the young boy from before; he was now a mature man. They could clearly sense his change.


    Jiang Feng wanted to start his own business. Even if he had enough money to last him a lifetime, he did not want to just enjoy life and wait for death. He wanted to live an exciting life. He wanted to do something great to honor his ancestors!


    Jiang Jianzhong looked at his son in delight. He had been young once. He was also filled with ambitions and dreams. Alas, he was forced to lower his head when faced with the harsh reality of life. For the sake of his family, he had to live like that. However, now, he felt like Jiang Feng was fulfilling his dreams, fighting for a good life. He smiled and nodded at Jiang Feng.


    Similar to Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumin, Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister was also shocked when she heard that he had bought the company. She looked at him with his mouth agape and an expression of admiration. She asked excitedly, ¡°Brother, you really bought the company? Does this mean you¡¯re the boss now? Wow, you¡¯re really amazing! You¡¯re a boss at such a young age! In the future, I want to work in your company after I graduate!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister could not stop smiling, and the admiration in her eyes could not be concealed at all.


    Jiang Feng rubbed his little sister¡¯s head and laughed. ¡°Alright. From now on, you¡¯re the little boss of the company.¡±


    ¡°Since I¡¯m the little boss, I can do whatever I want in your company!¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s little sister said as she raised her chin proudly and gestured with her hands.


    Her cute appearance made everyone laugh.


    ¡­


    The dinner ended happily, and everyone returned to their room to rest.


    Jiang Feng had been busy all day so he soaked in the bathtub for quite a while before he returned to his room and lay on the bed.


    He looked at the ceiling and fell deep into his thoughts. Only a few days had passed, but so many things had changed. He almost forgot the past now.


    Three or four days ago, he was still living in a small town, but now he was living in a big villa.


    Originally, he was just an insignificant employee in the company, but now, he became the owner of the company.


    Previously, his savings only totaled to less than 20,000 yuan, but now, he was worth hundreds of millions.


    The changes over the past three or four days were really too big. Now that he had all these things, he had to start planning for the future.


    Since he had acquired the company, he would save himself the trouble of starting a company. Since the company was an investment company, he would also begin to invest.


    He did not want to be slow and steady like Zhang Qidong, doing small deals to earn money. He wanted to invest in valuable companies, take their shares, and become bigger and stronger! Although the risk was a little high, the returns would be high as well, much higher than Zhang Qidong¡¯s slow and steady way of doing business.


    Apart from that, Jiang Feng also had other plans. That was to poach Lin Miaoxue to his company.


    With all these thoughts in mind, Jiang Feng fell asleep. He was so tired so it took him only a few minutes to fall asleep.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Lin Miaoxue, who was lying on her bed, had trouble falling asleep. She tossed and turned, and her heart was in a mess.

 Chapter 51 - Who the F*ck Do You Think You

    Lin Miaoxue lay on the bed and thought about today¡¯s events. She did not feel sleepy at all. She looked at her phone next to her pillow before she finally picked it up. She saw a few messages from Liu Xinyao.


    Liu Xinyao: How was it? Did you succeed in having a beautiful date today?


    Liu Xinyao: Don¡¯t tell me you guys are going to¡­ today?


    Liu Xinyao: Where are you? Why aren¡¯t you replying to my messages? Are you really doing that?


    Liu Xinyao: No! Impossible! That¡¯s not the Little Xue I know!


    Liu Xinyao: Hurry up and reply to my messages. I don¡¯t even dare to call you right now!


    ¡­


    In another district in Shanghai, Liu Xinyao was holding her phone. She was happy thinking that Lin Miaoxue might have succeeded, but she was also worried. After all, her best friend was really innocent.


    ¡®Lin Miaoxue has been single for so many years, she wouldn¡¯t be fooled into giving herself up, right?


    Liu Xinyao grew even more worried. However, thinking that Lin Miaoxue might be busy at the moment, she did not dare to call. If she ruined Lin Miaoxue¡¯s plan, Lin Miaoxue would not let her go.


    However, that kind of thing was very normal between couples nowadays.


    Liu Xinyao felt really conflicted. Every few minutes, she would look at her phone.


    At this time, her phone suddenly buzzed.


    Liu Xinyao hurriedly picked up her phone.


    Lin Miaoxue: What nonsense are you thinking? I¡¯m lying alone in my own bed. (angry emoji)


    Liu Xinyao laughed upon reading the message. She muttered, ¡°I knew she wouldn¡¯t give herself up so easily.¡±


    Liu Xinyao: So how was your date? Did it go smoothly? Did the seduction plan work? Did he fall head over heels in love with you until he can¡¯t find his way home? Haha!


    ¡­


    When Lin Miaoxue saw how quickly Liu Xinyao had replied, she sat up on her bed and leaned against the headboard.


    She knew Liu Xinyao had been thinking about this matter the entire day. Both of them were single, and if one of them fell in love, the other would definitely be filled with curiosity to the point of exploding.


    If Liu Xinyao were in love, she would definitely ask so many questions as well. However, when she thought about today¡¯s date, she really felt miserable.


    Before she could reply, her phone rang; Liu Xinyao was calling her.


    ¡°Hello. Why are you calling so late at night?¡± Lin Miaoxiao, who was feeling dejected, said in a bitter voice.


    Liu Xinyao laughed. ¡°I¡¯m just curious! A single dog like me can¡¯t help but want to know more about your love! Hurry up! Tell me, did your plan work? Did you use the techniques?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue sighed. ¡°I failed. He didn¡¯t seem to notice it at all.¡±


    ¡°What happened?! Tell me!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue thought about it for a moment before she honestly recounted everything.


    After listening to Lin Miaoxue, Liu Xinyao shook her head repeatedly and said, ¡°You¡¯re too¡­ disappointing, Little Xue!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue could only sigh. She was really too clumsy. She had never learned such things before and embarrassed herself during her first try.


    ¡°If it were me, I would make sure he wouldn¡¯t be able to look away! You still have to practice more. Don¡¯t worry. A man¡¯s mind is relatively simple!¡± Liu Xinyao said to comfort Lin Miaoxue.


    Upon hearing this, Lin Miaoxue retorted, ¡°Nonsense! You¡¯re still single! Aren¡¯t you the same as me? If you¡¯re so capable, you won¡¯t be single now!¡±


    ¡°I¡­¡± Liu Xinyao was rendered speechless by Lin Miaoxue¡¯s retort. When she found an excuse for herself, she said confidently, ¡°Well, my theoretical knowledge is very good. It¡¯s just that I haven¡¯t found someone to practice it on!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue laughed upon hearing Liu Xinyao¡¯s words.


    ¡°Don¡¯t laugh at me! You¡¯ve found someone, but I haven¡¯t. You have to help me. You can¡¯t leave me alone. I don¡¯t want to be single anymore!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m still single as well. I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking¡­ I invited him to my house for a drink, but he rejected me. I¡¯m really frustrated,¡± Lin Miaoxue said with a sigh. She felt disappointed once again.


    ¡°He rejected you after you invited him to your house? He must be the typical obtuse straight man! Hmm, but from what you said before, that doesn¡¯t seem to be the case,¡± Liu Xinyao said, slightly puzzled. She stroked her chin and began to think.


    ¡°I really don¡¯t know what he¡¯s thinking. I¡¯m just going with the flow,¡± Lin Miaoxue said as she shook her head.


    ¡°Trust me. He definitely likes you. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have eaten with you today. After thinking about it, I think he¡¯s just a gentleman, and he¡¯s just trying to take things slow. Moreover, he¡¯s caring toward his family. This means he¡¯s a good man. He¡¯s worthy of you entrusting your life to. However, I didn¡¯t expect him to hide himself so well. He¡¯s so rich but so low-key. He¡¯s not pretentious at all. That¡¯s really rare. You have to cherish him,¡± Liu Xinyao said, expressing her sincere thoughts and judgment of Jiang Feng. Lin Miaoxie was her best friend so she definitely would not harm her best friend. As a bystander, she was more objective and could see more clearly. She could see whether Jiang Feng was good or not.


    1


    After listening to Liu Xinyao, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s mind was filled with Jiang Feng¡¯s voice and smile. She could not help but feel warm and sweet in her heart.


    The man she liked was definitely not bad. Jiang Feng¡¯s situation over the past few years was obvious to everyone. He had an excellent character and was talented. Lin Miaoxue believed he could not have pretended to be something he was not for a few years. She trusted him from the bottom of her heart.


    Finally, Lin Miaoxue said, ¡°Alright, I understand. Anyway, I¡¯m going to sleep now.¡±


    ¡°Alright. Go to sleep early. I¡¯m hanging up.¡±


    After ending the call, Lin Miaoxue lay on the bed again. She was still thinking about Jiang Feng. What Liu Xinyao said earlier had touched her heart. Gradually, she began to imagine a beautiful future with him, buoyed by the sweet emotions in her heart. A sweet smile unknowingly formed on her face.


    Alas, this sweet feeling did not last long. Soon, she began to worry again. Now that Jiang Feng became the owner of Cinda Financial, he would have more responsibilities.


    Luo Yuchang, the boss of her company, must have found out about what happened by now. He had been waiting for a few months to buy Cinda, but now the plan had gone awry. He definitely would not give up.


    Lin Miaoxue knew Luo Yuchang would use whatever means to achieve his goal. The meeting today allowed her to see his character clearly. There was no doubt he would target Jiang Feng after finding out that Jiang Feng ruined his carefully laid trap.


    Jiang Feng was out in the open, unaware of all this. Meanwhile, Luo Yuchang was hidden in the dark. If Luo Yuchang employed despicable tricks and shot Jiang Feng from the back, it would definitely be disadvantageous to Jiang Feng.


    It was unfortunate that she was now an employee of Kerry Financial Company. She could not reveal trade secrets and insider information. She would be incarcerated if she was found doing such a thing. She was very anxious and troubled, not knowing how to help Jiang Feng. She really did want to see Luo Yuchang targeting Jiang Feng. If Luo Yuchang made a move, Jiang Feng would definitely be hurt. However, if she told Jiang Feng about what she knew, if Luo Yuchang found out, her entire life would be ruined. She could imagine being in jail.


    Lin Miaoxu continued to toss and turn on her bed. Her heart was in turmoil.


    After thinking for a long time, she finally came up with a plan. It was not very good, but it was the best plan she could come up with.


    Luo Yuchang¡¯s actions were undoubtedly unethical. He was unscrupulous toward small companies, harming others for his own benefit. If he harmed Jiang Feng, she could not sit idly by no matter what. She was determined to protect Jiang Feng. Even if she might end up hurt, she was willing.


    She was going to speak to Luo Yuchang when she went to work tomorrow. Hopefully, he would let Cinda Financial go. She could not help other companies, but she had to help Jiang Feng. If Luo Yuchang refused to let go, at worst, she would quit her job at Kerry Financial Company. For Jiang Feng¡¯s sake, she was willing to give her job up.


    In the end, Lin Miaoxue only fell asleep late at night with a heavy heart when exhaustion finally overwhelmed her.


    ¡­


    The next morning.


    Lin Miaoxue was woken up by the alarm clock. She opened her eyes blearily. She was both physically and mentally tired, and she had slept so late. When she got up and looked into the mirror, she saw prominent dark circles around her eyes that she had not seen for a long time.


    After washing up, she used concealer to cover up her dark circles before leaving for the company. She did not want others to see her in such a terrible state.


    Since she planned to speak to Luo Yuchang, she arrived at the company half an hour earlier.


    Luo Yuchang had yet to arrive, but there were already people in the company. Most of them were busy with work that they did not complete yesterday. However, when some of them saw Lin Miaoxue, they temporarily abandoned their work and surrounded her with gossipy expressions on their faces.


    ¡°Team Leader, that luxury car yesterday looks really good! It looks as good as its owner!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Team Leader, that handsome man is your boyfriend, right?¡±


    ¡°He has to be! Only such a handsome man is worthy of our team leader!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue did not pay attention to them and continued walking, but they chased after her.


    ¡°Team Leader, don¡¯t leave. Just tell us so we¡¯ll stop guessing!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Such a handsome man¡­ If it were me, I¡¯d definitely show off to everyone!¡±


    ¡°The car was a limited edition Pagani! He must be very rich! I¡¯m so envious of you, Team Leader!¡±


    ¡°There aren¡¯t that many rich and handsome second generation. Team Leader, you¡¯re really amazing to have found one!¡±


    ¡°Only someone as promising as our team leader is worthy of such a man! I¡¯m so envious.¡±


    The few of them kept following Lin Miaoxue and chattering at the side. It seemed like they had forgotten about their questions and were only talking about Jiang Feng. However, this was not surprising. Ever since their days in the university, he had always had an extraordinary bearing. Coupled with his good looks, it was normal for him to attract everyone¡¯s attention.


    Lin Miaoxue was rather happy when she heard them praising Jiang Feng. This meant that her judgment was not wrong. Despite her good mood, she still did not say anything. She only smiled at them and went to her desk.


    When they saw her attitude, they knew they would not be able to get anything out of her so they could only leave.


    Soon after, Luo Yuchang arrived at the company. He swept his gaze around before he walked into his office.


    When Lin Miaoxue saw Luo Yuchang, she rose to her feet immediately and walked to his office. Although her position as team leader was not high, her family background was still quite good. Even if she spoke to him, the others would not think much of it. Everyone knew that background and connections were important, especially in their industry.


    ¡­


    As soon as Lin Miaoxue entered the boss¡¯ office, quite a few employees flocked to the few people who had spoken to Lin Miaoxue earlier.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is our company¡¯s number one beauty really in love?¡±


    ¡°Tell us. Everyone wants to know.¡±


    The few people who spoke to Lin Miaoxue earlier were a little dissatisfied. They had taken the initiative to speak to her, but she had just ignored them; this was clearly disrespecting them. Perhaps, she felt superior to them so she looked down on them. They did not show their displeasure to her earlier, but now, they no longer had to pretend. Hence, they shook their heads and began to speak one after another.


    ¡°I don¡¯t know. She didn¡¯t say anything.¡±


    ¡°Lin Miaoxue is very powerful. It¡¯s useless. We asked, but she didn¡¯t reply at all.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I don¡¯t know why she¡¯s like that. Isn¡¯t this kind of joyous matter worth celebrating? Why is she so afraid of people knowing?¡±


    Someone chimed in, ¡°The society is very open-minded now. People are free to fall in love. Maybe, there¡¯s something that¡¯s hard for her to say?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. A few days ago, I heard someone say that a female employee from the company downstairs became the boss¡¯ mistress! I wonder if that¡¯s what¡¯s going on with Team Leader Lin?¡± someone said, distorting the information.


    Someone assisted this person and chimed in, ¡°Yes! If your relationship is upright, why can¡¯t you let people know about it? How strange!¡±


    They continued to chat. Some of them were blunt with their words, and some of them hid knives in their words.


    Those sitting at the side did not say anything and only nodded.


    There were also a few who only smiled before returning to their desks.


    In any case, all of them knew how easily word would spread. It did not matter if it was true or not. Even if it was fake, it would somehow become true to some people.


    ¡­


    After knocking on the door, Lin Miaoxue walked into Luo Yuchang¡¯s office.


    Luo Yuchang, who had just arrived, was in a bad mood. The news he received late last night truly angered him.


    Initially, he thought Zhang Qidong borrowed some money and temporarily solved the problem. Hence, he was not very concerned. After all, he still had ways to deal with Zhang Qidong.


    However, after his people investigated further, they found out that Zhang Qidong had sold the company to someone. Just yesterday, when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, someone bought the entire company. Not only that, but that person also continued to invest, making a huge profit in just a day.


    This naturally made Luo Yuchang extremely unhappy. He spent half a year investigating and laying the trap. He schemed and invested a lot of money, waiting to reap the benefit. Who knew that in the end, someone else would reap the benefit?


    It was as though he had cooked a good piece of meat, but in the end, it was eaten by another person.


    All his efforts and calculations had gone to waste! They were all in vain!


    Luo Yuchang really felt like he was going to explode from anger and unhappiness. Nonetheless, he saw Lin Miaoxue, he hid his emotions and maintained the attitude of a boss. His expression did not reveal the slightest abnormality as he asked calmly, ¡°Little Lin, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    Luo Yuchang only glanced at Lin Miaoxue. His hands were typing on the keyboard.


    Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Luo Yuchang¡¯s expression, Lin Miaoxue said bluntly, ¡°President Luo, I know that our company has recently set its eyes on a company. I¡¯ll be honest with you. The owner of that company is my boyfriend. I only hope that you¡¯ll let Cinda Financial go this time. With your ability, it¡¯s not difficult for you to find another company to acquire.¡±


    Although Lin Miaoxue was quite nervous, she spoke calmly in one breath in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. When she saw Luo Yuchang¡¯s darkening expression, she knew there was no going back once she had said those words. However, she did not hesitate. She only hoped that she could prevent Jiang Feng from getting hurt.


    Unsurprisingly, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s words stirred up a storm.


    Luo Yuchang stopped typing and glared at Lin Miaoxue as he asked coldly, ¡°What did you say? The owner of Cinda Financial is your boyfriend?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s heart trembled a little when she saw the expression on Luo Yuchang¡¯s face. However, she still clenched her hands and said with a nod, ¡°Yes, President Luo. Can you please let go of Cinda Financial and find another company?¡±


    Luo Yuchang exploded with anger upon hearing these words. He rose to his feet and glared at Lin Miaoxue. If looks could kill, she would have already died. He did not expect his employee would be related to this matter. He actually had someone from the enemy¡¯s camp in his company. He roared, ¡°You traitor! The company groomed you and nurtured you, but as it turns out, you¡¯re from the enemy¡¯s camp! I hired you and provided you with so many resources, and yet, your heart lies with another company! Do you know how much our company lost this time? Do you know how much I lost?! Do you know how long I¡¯ve had my eyes on Cinda? It¡¯s because of you! It¡¯s all because of you that my efforts went to waste! Motherf*cker, you still have the guts to stand in front of me and speak?! Who the f*ck do you think you are?!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s heart trembled even more when she saw the roaring and cursing Luo Yuchang. She was frozen. She did not expect him to explode in this manner.


    Luo Yuchang, who was burning with anger, looked at Lin Miaoxue and felt the flames of fury soaring even higher. At this moment, she became the target to vent his anger. Since he could not vent his anger on the new owner of Cinda financial, he was going to vent it on Lin Miaoxu, who claimed to be the other person¡¯s girlfriend. He bellowed, ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is! So what if he¡¯s your boyfriend?! In my eyes, only money matters! I have plenty of ways to snatch back that sesame-sized company! You¡¯re with that coward from Cinda; is he worthy of your face? Were you only looking for someone handsome? Did you not care if he¡¯s trash?! His company¡¯s assets can¡¯t even compare to the assets from one of my departments. How dare he ruin my plan?! All I have is money! Let me tell you. Don¡¯t even think about snatching away something I¡¯ve set my eyes on! If someone dares to do so, then they should just wait to die! Bast*rd!¡±


    As Luo Yuchang spoke, he walked out from behind his desk and moved to stand in front of Lin Miaoxue. His eyes were frosty and his expression was furious as he said fiercely, ¡°And you, do you think I¡¯d care about what you say? You¡¯re nothing in my eyes! I¡¯m definitely going to swallow up Cinda! Just wait for your boyfriend to die! No one can save him!¡±


    At this moment, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s body began to tremble as anger began to surge in her heart. Since she was young, no one had ever scolded her like this. It was fine if Luo Yuchang had only refused her, but he scolded her in such a manner. He insisted on acquiring Cinda Financial and even told her to wait for her boyfriend to die!


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s big eyes were burning with anger as she looked at Luo Yuchang. She completely understood what kind of person he was now.


    After yesterday¡¯s meeting and her chat with Yang Yiling, Lin Miaoxue had already felt that Luo Yuchang¡¯s actions were completely incompatible with her principles. Today¡¯s matter only further cemented that thought. The person before her was someone who liked employing dirty tricks.


    Lin Miaoxue did not want to stay any longer. She said angrily, ¡°You did so many bad deeds. You¡¯ll get your retribution sooner or later! I quit! You look down on me? I look down on you too, you wicked person!¡±


    After saying that, Lin Miaoxue turned around and stormed out of Luo Yuchang¡¯s office. She slammed the door loudly behind her when she left. With a heart filled with anger, she went to her desk and began to pack.


    However, Lin Miaoxue was unaware that the matter was not over.

 Chapter 52 - Directly Attack Him!

    ¡°How dare a small employee try to climb on my head!¡± Luo Yuchang raised his hand and swept the things on his table to the ground. His eyes were filled with anger and reluctance.


    His efforts had been fed to the dogs. He did know where the other party had gotten so much money, but he was determined to take a gamble to make a fortune! He was going to take down Cinda Financial. That little thing that dared to oppose him really overestimated herself.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, after packing her things, Lin Miaoxue took one last look at the office. Her eyes were dim. She had been here for quite a while, and soon, someone would replace her.


    She had offended Luo Yuchang. Kerry Financial Company would no longer have anything to do with her. She bid farewell to the office silently before she carried her box away.


    Seeing this, her team members stepped forward to stop her, looking concerned and confused.


    ¡°Team Leader, where are you going? Why are you carrying your things away? Did you resign?¡±


    ¡°This box is quite heavy. Team Leader, let me help you carry it. Have you found a new job, Team Leader?¡±


    ¡°Team Leader, what did you say to the boss? Why are you leaving as soon as you come out of his office?¡±


    Yang Yiling, who was attracted by the commotion, walked past the team members and stood in front of Lin Miaoxue. Her expression was one of confusion as she asked, ¡°What¡¯s going on? Little Xue, what are you doing?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue smiled slightly as she said, ¡°Thank you, everyone, for cooperating with me during my time here. I¡¯ve resigned. I¡¯m very grateful for everyone¡¯s care for me.¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone wore different expressions on their faces.


    ¡°Team Leader, why did you suddenly resign? What happened?¡±


    ¡°Did you argue with the boss? Did he fire you?¡±


    Upon hearing this, everyone took a step back and smiled awkwardly.


    ¡°Team Leader, take good care of yourself. I just remember that I¡¯ve yet to finish my work. I still have to submit it later so I won¡¯t send you off.¡±


    ¡°Me too. I still have a report to submit. Take care, Team Leader.¡±


    ¡°Ah! I have to print something. I won¡¯t send you off, Team Leader.¡±


    Everyone left one after another after coming up with an excuse.


    Yang Yiling, like the others, distanced herself as well. She smiled and said, ¡°Little Xue, be careful. I¡¯ll get back to work first.¡±


    ¡°Yiling, you¡­¡± Lin Miaoxue was stunned, but in her heart, she understood clearly. Everyone was afraid of being implicated by her. If they were too close to her, they were afraid they would offend Luo Yuchang. Luo Yuchang was not a magnanimous man; he would definitely cause trouble for those who were close to her. However, she did expect that Yang Yiling, whom she thought she had a good relationship with, would distance herself so decisively.


    ¡°Little Xue, you can¡¯t blame me. After all, this job is very important to me. If you offended the boss, I¡¯d be implicated as well if I don¡¯t maintain a distance. I¡¯m sorry,¡± Yang Yiling said with a forced smile. Then, she hurried away before Lin Miaoxue could reply.


    Meanwhile, another team leader said mockingly and impatiently, ¡°If you care about us, you should leave now. You¡¯re affecting our work. Don¡¯t tell me you still expect us to care about you? You¡¯ve already offended the boss, and yet, you still want to stay and drag us down.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think you can do whatever you want just because you have a rich boyfriend. Do you really think you¡¯re all that? You¡¯re really bold to offend the boss like that.¡±


    ¡°You look very good, but it¡¯s a pity that there¡¯s something wrong with your brain. Now that your job is gone, you can only cry when you¡¯re dumped. After all, who knows how long love will last?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was not angry at all when she heard these words. She bit her lower lip and left the building. She knew that the world could be both warm and cold.


    ¡­


    When Lin Miaoxue returned home, she continued to worry about Jiang Feng. She had seen Luo Yuchang¡¯s character during her meeting with him earlier. Not only that, but she also knew there was no way he would willingly give up on Cinda Financial and that he was definitely going to make a move against Jiang Feng.


    Although Jiang Feng was gifted, he was still young. Moreover, Cinda Financial was just a small company now. He could not withstand Luo Yuchang¡¯s power at all. Most importantly, Luo Yuchang was not beyond using crooked means.


    Lin Miaoxue was afraid that Jiang Feng would be in danger now.


    Although she was worried, she also had to follow her professional ethics. She did not want to break the law. Hence, she could not tell Jiang Feng about it. At the same time, she also could not just sit back and do nothing when she knew he was in danger.


    Lin Miaoxue lay on the bed, feeling extremely troubled and conflicted.


    At this moment, her phone buzzed. It was Liu Xinyao.


    As soon as she answered the call, Liu Xinyao roared deafeningly, ¡°Little Xue, who bullied you? I heard that you resigned?! Why did you resign out of the blue? I¡¯ll support you! I¡¯ll slap whoever it is who dares to bully you!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was very touched. ¡°Sister Ya, calm down. I resigned on my own accord. I just can¡¯t stand my boss¡¯ actions.¡±


    Liu Xinyao sighed in relief before she said, ¡°That¡¯s good. So what happened?¡±


    ¡°My boss is targeting Cinda Financial. That¡¯s Jiang Feng¡¯s company. You know the difference in strength between the two companies. I asked him to let Cinda go, but he was unwilling. I was so angry so I resigned,¡± Lin Miaoxue said huffily, puffing up her cheeks. Her anger rose again. She was really blind to have followed such a boss.


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you resigned. Since you like Jiang Feng, it¡¯s time to act now! You did this for him; he¡¯ll definitely be touched. Take this chance to win his heart since you sacrificed so much for him!¡± Liu Xinyao said energetically. She wanted nothing more than to see Lin Miaoxue and Jiang Feng together.


    Lin Miaoxue blushed. ¡°What are you talking about? It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    Liu Xinyao smiled mischievously and said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you quit your job? Why don¡¯t you work in his company? The closer you are to him, the better. He¡¯ll definitely fall for you!¡±


    Lin Miaoxu coughed and said, ¡°Stop talking nonsense. By the way, I¡¯m in a dilemma now. I don¡¯t know if I should tell him about the matter.¡±


    Liu Xinyao thought about it for a moment before she said, ¡°You definitely can¡¯t tell him directly. Although you¡¯ve resigned, you can¡¯t break the law. We¡¯re good citizens. However, it¡¯s not like there¡¯s no other way.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue relaxed when she heard Liu Xinyao¡¯s words. She hurriedly asked, ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°You can just drop hints. You won¡¯t violate the law or your morals by doing this,¡± Liu Xinyao said.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Why didn¡¯t I think of this?! You¡¯re really my savior!¡± Lin Miaoxue was enlightened by Liu Xinyao. She wished she could kiss Liu Xinyao at this moment. Nonetheless, she still felt slightly conflicted. After all, she had been with the company for quite a while so there were still some attachments.


    ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s not the most important thing¡­¡± Liu Xinyao said mysteriously.


    Lin Miaoxue fell into the trap and asked, ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°You have to directly attack Jiang Feng. Otherwise, all your efforts will go to waste,¡± Liu Xinyao said as she gestured with her hands. Then, she realized that they were on the phone, and Lin Miaoxue could not see her. She quickly withdrew her hand and scratched her head sheepishly.


    ¡°Let¡¯s just wait and see first,¡± Lin Miaoxue said. Her mind was in a mess, and her heart thumped wildly.


    ¡°Be careful that you don¡¯t get robbed. Outstanding men like him are rare nowadays. He¡¯ll be caught by another person if you wait too long,¡± Liu Xinyao said.


    Lin Miaoxue said, embarrassed, ¡°I¡¯m not going to listen to you if you keep talking nonsense. I¡¯m hanging up now.¡±


    After ending the call, Lin Miaoxue lowered her head. Her mind was only filled with Jiang Feng at this moment.

 Chapter 53 - Long Live President Jiang!

    Jiang Feng got up and stretched his limbs. He thought about Pork Inc.; everything should be done by now. It was time for him to go to the company to have a look.


    When he arrived at Cinda Financial, many of the employees were already at their desks. They heard that the company had earned a lot of money. They were all discussing animatedly among themselves, and when they saw Jiang Feng, all of them greeted him enthusiastically.


    ¡°Good morning, President Jiang! Why are you here so early? Don¡¯t you want to sleep in?¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, the company is doing well. Even if you didn¡¯t come, we¡¯ll still work diligently!¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, I¡¯m filled with energy now! I¡¯ll definitely work hard for the company!¡±


    Jiang Feng felt slightly helpless faced with the commotion. He only nodded with a smile on his face. These people were too enthusiastic. Those who did not know would think they were his relatives. What happened?


    Seeing that Jiang Feng did not put on airs, the employees wished they could talk to him longer. They were shocked and in awe. He was truly god-like. They had never seen 100 million in their lives, let alone a few hundred million.


    Cinda Financial had never made so much money in the past. If this continued, would the company become one of the top 800 companies? They, as employees, would also be envied by employees of other companies. When the time came, would their pay rise?


    Their boss even paid for their vacations. If the company became bigger and stronger, how often would they be able to go on vacations?


    There were a few people who felt vexed as well. If they knew a god-like person was among them, they would have treated him better in the past. Perhaps, they would have been promoted now if they had foresight and treated him well previously. Thinking about this, they felt really uncomfortable. They had missed a golden opportunity to rise in rank. If they had seized the opportunity back then, they would no longer have to worry about their future now.


    ¡°President Jiang, how did you earn so much money?! Teach us a thing or two!¡± someone said.


    Another person chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Quickly tell us.¡±


    Someone brought a stool over and said with a smile, ¡°President Jiang, please sit.¡±


    ¡°Hey, do all of you have a fever? Why are all of you so enthusiastic?¡± Jiang Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    One of the employees stared at Jiang Feng with stars in his eyes as he said, ¡°President Jiang, I won¡¯t be able to earn so much money even if I can ascend to heaven! You¡¯re really amazing. I really, really admire you!¡±


    Jiang Feng said modestly, ¡°I really don¡¯t have any special methods. I was just lucky.¡±


    Jiang Feng could not tell them about the system, after all. Even if he could, they would not believe him. They would probably think he was mentally ill and send him to a mental hospital.


    ¡°President Jiang, don¡¯t be humble! We know! You must have been sent to the company by God! I heard that if it weren¡¯t for you, our company would have gone bankrupt this time!¡± someone who knew a little said.


    The admiration in everyone¡¯s eyes grew stronger upon hearing this, making Jiang Feng feel embarrassed.


    ¡°President Jiang, so you are a hero! It seems like you knew everything, and yet we knew nothing!¡±


    At this time, a female employee asked, ¡°President Jiang, do you have a girlfriend? Look at me. I¡¯m an excellent cook, and I¡¯m good at taking care of people. If you marry me, you¡¯ll definitely be well taken care of!¡±


    Jiang Feng replied politely, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I have a girlfriend.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re so handsome and talented. Your girlfriend must be very outstanding as well, right? President Jiang, I feel that with you in our company, our company will definitely have many contracts worth hundreds of millions or billions in the future.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re simply too amazing! I was blind before and didn¡¯t treat you well! I hope you¡¯re not angry,¡± someone said.


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s a small matter. It¡¯s all in the past,¡± Jiang Feng said and shook his head. He did not believe in the sincerity of those words. He knew these people were like this because of what he had done for the company. As long as the company was good to them, they would be good. Moreover, he also did not care about the matter. When he started working, he did not contribute a lot, and they were also competitors. Hence, he did not blame them.


    ¡°President Jiang is really magnanimous. I¡¯m really lucky. It¡¯s my honor to work for President Jiang!¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, I really love you! Do you want another girlfriend? I¡¯m willing to be a mistress too! I promise I¡¯ll keep it a secret from your girlfriend!¡±


    Someone sighed. ¡°To think we¡¯re about the same age. I really envy President Jiang. He rose so fast at such a young age, and we¡¯re still struggling as low-level employees.¡±


    Everyone sighed enviously. Jiang Feng was so rich and powerful even though he was only in his twenties. It seemed like something out of a novel about rich people. Compared to him, they could only struggle at work, subjected to the unpredictable cold and warmth of the world. They could never compare to geniuses like him.


    ¡°Everyone, work hard. I¡¯ll raise everyone¡¯s pay soon. I¡¯ll work hard to lead the company so everyone will prosper as well!¡± Jiang Feng said encouragingly with a smile.


    ¡°President Jiang, I believe in you. We earned so much from Pork Inc. alone. In the future, we¡¯ll definitely earn more! President Jiang, can you predict the future?¡± an employee asked. He wished he could speak more to Jiang Feng. Perhaps, he might catch Jiang Feng¡¯s eye. At that time, he might be promoted and get a raise. If they had a better relationship, Jiang Feng might even tell him how to earn 100 million.


    ¡°You¡¯re funny! Although I study a lot and have experience, I¡¯m not as god-like as you make me out to be. This was all due to coincidence and good luck. In the future, we might encounter difficulties,¡± Jiang Feng said, wanting to downplay everything. Yesterday, he was busy, but today, he was surrounded and assaulted with a barrage of questions. He shook his head inwardly, thinking that it was quite troublesome to be a president.


    Some patted his chest and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, President Jiang. You have us to help you solve the problem! Although we¡¯re not god-like, we can still be the followers of a god-like person!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! President Jiang, you earned so much for the company. It only makes sense for us to work hard. We¡¯ll definitely follow in your footsteps!¡±


    ¡°Long live President Jiang! President Jiang is invincible! We all want to learn from President Jiang! President Jiang, you¡¯re our idol!¡±


    The employees shouted enthusiastically one after another.


    ¡°Alright, alright, go back to work. I still have matters to discuss with President Zhang. Good luck, everyone. Thanks for your hard work,¡± Jiang Feng said before he rose to his feet and left.

 Chapter 54 - Savior, You’re Here!

    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong felt like they were dreaming. Since they started the company, they had never made such huge transactions. They had always played it safe and only took the risk once. In the end, not only did they not earn a single cent, but they almost went bankrupt as well.


    Who knew a genius would suddenly appear out of thin air and help them earn so much money in one go, making all their dreams come true? If they had not met Jiang Feng, they would have only been the owner of a small company for the rest of their lives.


    This god-like genius allowed them to soar into the sky. It was something they did not dare to think of previously. They only thought about living stably. Now that a new world had been shown to them, they found it hard to believe that they had earned so much money.


    Zhang Qidong felt lucky that he did not chase Jiang Feng away. Otherwise, he would have lost an investment genius. He also felt like he did not have a discerning eye. He did not even know there was such a genius hidden in the company. If it were not for the crisis, he would not have known such an existence existed. He was determined to learn how to judge people correctly. At this moment, he really could not wait to see Jiang Feng again.


    When Jiang Feng walked in, he saw the two of them smiling foolishly in a daze. He felt like scratching his head. Were they so happy just because they made money? He wondered if he should wake them up from their daydream. They seemed so immersed and could not extricate themselves. However, it seemed rude to just wake them up. In the end, he shrugged, thinking they would return to their senses soon enough.


    As expected¡­


    ¡°Savior, you¡¯re here!¡± Zhang Qidong exclaimed when he saw Jiang Feng after he returned to his senses. He did not even know when Jiang Feng had arrived. Soon enough, his pleasant surprise turned into fear. He wanted to slap himself. What if Jiang Feng thought he was ignoring him when he was daydreaming? He hoped Jiang Feng would not think too much about it.


    With Zhang Qidong¡¯s exclamation, Song Yaozhong snapped back to his senses as well. When he saw Jiang Feng, he stood up straight like a soldier. He felt like crying.


    ¡®Why did he come in so quietly? He won¡¯t think I deliberately ignored him right? I don¡¯t want to leave this company! This company will definitely have a bright future!¡¯


    ¡°President Jiang, do you want some tea?¡± Zhang Qidong asked nervously. He quickly brought out the tea leaves he had just bought and began to brew them. At the same time, he was discreetly studying Jiang Feng¡¯s expression, worried that Jiang Feng was angry.


    Song Yaozhong saw this and thought he had to be more proactive as well. He quickly rummaged through the cabinets and found snacks. He smiled obsequiously as he said, ¡°I asked people to buy the best snacks. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s to President Jiang¡¯s taste?¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, we didn¡¯t hear any sound earlier. How long have you been in here? This is all my fault. I¡¯m getting old so my ears aren¡¯t working as well as they used to,¡± Zhang Qidong said apologetically, looking as though he was ready to slap his face to show remorse.


    Jiang Feng was shocked and hurriedly stopped Zhang Qidong. ¡°Hey! Don¡¯t do that. It¡¯s not a big deal. We¡¯re colleagues. You¡¯re not my slave. It doesn¡¯t matter if you didn¡¯t hear me coming in.¡±


    Zhang Qidong laughed. ¡°No matter what, I was careless. President Jiang, please drink the tea first. It won¡¯t taste good once it turns cold.¡±


    ¡°The snacks might be a little sweet. Tell me if it¡¯s not to your taste. I¡¯ll change it,¡± Song Yaozhong chimed in as he carefully placed the plate of snacks in front of Jiang Feng.


    ¡°You¡¯re being too polite. We can be considered partners, after all,¡± Jiang Feng said as he sighed inwardly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to do this. I¡¯m not used to this kind of treatment. Don¡¯t be so polite to me. It makes me feel uncomfortable.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong looked at each other. Then, the duo sat down and pretended to be relaxed.


    ¡°President Jiang, the finance department and I have been on alert over the past few days. Pork Inc. has successfully brought us several hundred million in profit.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good. The money should be in the account now, right?¡± Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction.


    ¡°President Jiang, how did you manage to predict Pork Inc.¡¯s prices so accurately? The situation was exactly as you said,¡± Zhang Qidong could not help but ask as he looked at Jiang Feng eagerly. He had been in the industry for so long, but he had never met someone who could make such accurate predictions. Previously, when he had listened to Jiang Feng¡¯s analysis, he had felt it was very reasonable. Nonetheless, he still thought there would be a slight deviation. Unexpectedly, everything was exactly as Jiang Feng said; there was no deviation at all.


    A person who could analyze the general situation was already considered amazing. To be able to tell when to buy and sell so accurately like Jiang Feng was just too terrifying. Even someone with 50 or 60 years of experience would not be so accurate to this extent, but the handsome young man who was only in his twenties was capable of it.


    This was Zhang Qidong¡¯s first time meeting a genius. Previously, the ones he had seen were on television. He could not help but wonder what terrifying secrets or abilities Jiang Feng had. In any case, he was completely convinced.


    Meanwhile, Song Yaozhong nodded in agreement. Similarly, he did not understand how someone could make such accurate predictions. Jiang Feng was simply a genius. If it were not for the crisis, they would have been unaware they had a genius among them. After a moment, he asked excitedly, ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re the savior of this company. The crisis was just too big, but you solved it. If it weren¡¯t for you, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to see such a huge amount of money in my lifetime! President Jiang, I¡¯d die without regrets as long as I can be taken care of by you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not so exaggerated. I was just lucky. Very lucky,¡± Jiang Feng said. They flattered him so much that he really did not know how to respond at all. ¡°Both of you are also capable. Otherwise, the company wouldn¡¯t have come this far. I just came at the right time.¡±


    Zhang Qidong waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. You¡¯re at the peak of the pyramid. It¡¯s my honor to be able to follow you.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, I didn¡¯t expect the company to make so much money. My eyes almost popped out when I saw it,¡± Song Yaozhong said, still in disbelief.


    ¡°In the future, the three of us will continue to develop Cinda. I¡¯ll have to rely on both of you in the future,¡± Jiang Feng said seriously.


    ¡°We¡¯ll work hard to manage the company. President Jiang, you can rest assured,¡± Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong said as they nodded.


    ¡°Now that the money is here. It¡¯s time for us to do something else.¡±

 Chapter 55 - Acquisition! Attack a Top Investment Company!

    Upon hearing this, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong could hardly calm down.


    ¡°President Jiang, the company made so much money. What are we going to do next?¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded as he said, ¡°I came here today to speak about that. I plan to use the money to expand the business. Acquire other companies in this industry. The focus is on assets and scopes of business.¡±


    Jiang Feng had made calculations previously. Now that the company had survived the crisis and turned the situation around, he had a lot of money. He had to make the company bigger and stronger. The company could not continue to remain in such an inconspicuous position. The easiest way was to acquire a company. After the employees left, he could inject new blood into the company. Once he had chosen a suitable target and successfully acquired the target, he would find new talents.


    With talents and funds, Cinda Financial would eventually push the market forward. When that time came, it would just be a matter of time before Cinda Financial became a big company.


    Zhang Qidong was stunned. ¡°You¡­ You want to acquire other companies?¡±


    Zhang Qidong felt like he was dreaming. A few days ago, Cinda Financial was on the verge of collapse. After everything was resolved, in just a blink of an eye, Jiang Feng wanted to acquire other companies. He felt that everything was moving as fast as a bullet.


    Song Yaozhong, who was at the side, was similarly stunned by Jiang Feng¡¯s idea of acquiring other companies. They had never dared to do such a thing before. With this, would Cinda Financial not become a big company? He already found it hard to believe that they had made so much money, but now, it seemed like that was not the limit. Was it finally his turn to dream big? At this moment, he felt like he was on cloud nine.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Qidong, who had composed himself, said, ¡°There¡¯s this soundtrack company I heard of recently. I¡¯ve reviewed it. The problem with the company lies with the management. As long as we manage it well, that company can rise again.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also Chutao Company. It¡¯s having trouble with recruitment so the company has yet to take off. If we take over, the company will rise.¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also BEM Investment. It¡¯s a small company, but the boss¡¯ judgment is quite good. Small profits add up to huge profits. However, the boss seems to be sick and is looking to sell the company. The specifics are still unclear and need to be investigated.¡±


    At this time, Jiang Feng raised his hand and gestured to Zhang Qidong to stop. He shook his head, looking bored. In fact, he had heard about the companies and had a certain understanding of them. It could only be said that he was not very interested.


    Zhang Qidong was confused when Jiang Feng stopped him. He wondered if he had misunderstood something.


    ¡®Didn¡¯t he say he wanted to acquire other companies? Are the companies I mentioned too small so he doesn¡¯t like them?¡¯


    With this thought in mind, Zhang Qidong said tentatively, ¡°Well, I listed those companies with a capital of 100 million in mind. Should I speak about those few famous investment companies?¡±


    As Zhang Qidong spoke, he paid close attention to Jiang Feng¡¯s expression. As expected, Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes lit up with interest nearing the end of his words.


    ¡°Tell me about them in detail.¡±


    Zhang Qidong was shocked again by Jiang Feng¡¯s action. He did not even dare to think of acquiring small companies previously, but now, they were directly progressing to a higher level. He had such a dream before, but he was defeated by reality in the end. However, the young man who was more than ten years younger than him achieved the result he estimated he would need 40 to 50 years to achieve. After achieving the result, the young man began to execute a plan that he would not even dare to think of until he died.


    Famous investment companies were different. Let alone small companies, even big companies would not recklessly acquire them.


    Although Cinda Financial had earned hundreds of millions, it was only a small amount compared to the big companies. Could they really succeed in their acquisitions of those bigger companies?


    ¡°A-are you sure?¡± Zhang Qidong stuttered.


    Song Yaozhong also could not believe his ears. The standards of those high-level investment companies were all first-class. It would be a piece of cake for them to deal with Cinda Financial. The hundreds of millions they earned were like just a few dollars in their eyes. He would have prayed that these companies did not make a move on them, but now, Jiang Feng actually wanted to make a move on these companies. He was really frightened by this idea. He was already very satisfied with earning so much money, but it seemed like that was just the beginning and they were going to go higher. Was it really possible?


    If they succeeded, Cinda Financial would rise to a new level. At that time, would they not be making hundreds of millions a day? Was the success with Pork Inc. going to be replicated over and over again but on a higher scale? Was his long-buried dream going to come true?


    ¡°I¡¯m sure. I know what I¡¯m doing. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Jiang Feng said reassuringly with a calm expression on his face.


    After a moment of silence, Zhang Qidong said, ¡°But¡­ But those kinds of investment companies usually annex a lot of small companies. Their methods are all first-class. We might not even have our bones left for having such thoughts about them.¡±


    Fear lingered in Zhang Qidong¡¯s heart just thinking about such a thing. It was not like he had never seen the methods of those companies. Thinking about it, he had also fallen into one of their traps. If it were not for Jiang Feng, Cinda Financial¡¯s bones would have long been picked clean. His employees would not have gone on vacation; instead, they would have been laid off. He had been in the industry for at least ten years, but he still fell for the trap. Would the young man in front of him be okay?


    Although Zhang Qidong also hoped to attack those companies, he knew he had insufficient ability to do so. He could only dream about such a thing. If they took this risk now, the entire company would be buried with them if they failed. However, the young man in front of them had great foresight and talent. Perhaps, he could really bring them to new heights.


    At this time, Song Yaozhong said, ¡°I have one or two friends who told me something. There¡¯s a company. The owner is a little vicious, digging holes for people to jump into. He even forced someone to jump off a building in the end.¡±


    Song Yaozhong sighed.


    There was no precedent of a small company annexing a big company. It was simply a fantasy. The probability of success was zero. To create a successful precedent was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Even if one was talented, one might not be able to compete with those who had years and years of experience.


    Song Yaozhong thought that Jiang Feng¡¯s actions now were like Zhang Qidong¡¯s bet on Pork Inc. previously. He could not help but wonder if they went down this road, would they face the threat of bankruptcy again?


    Seeing the duo sighing, how could Jiang Feng not understand their thoughts? He said patiently, like an adult coaxing a child, ¡°I understand. Just tell me. I know what to do.¡±


    Seeing that Jiang Feng was so persistent and seemed to have a plan in mind, Zhang Qidong recalled how he had risked everything before and decided to trust Jiang Feng again. He said solemnly, ¡°Alright, President Jiang. I¡¯ll tell you about it.¡±

 Chapter 56 - Kerry? It’s a Piece of Cake!

    ¡°There are four top investment companies.¡±


    ¡°The first one is Shi Lei Company. The boss is stable and has a discerning eye. He¡¯s especially good at recruiting talents.¡±


    ¡°The second one is Xinchang Capital. There are many talents there, and the four partners are all outstanding in various aspects.¡±


    ¡°Then, the third one is Kerry Financial Company. The boss is called Luo Yuchang. He¡­¡± Zhang Qidong said with an unnatural expression. He paused for a moment before he continued to say, ¡°He¡¯s a good person. I borrowed money from him before. However, at the critical moment, the price of Pork Inc. fluctuated abnormally. I guess there was a large amount of money entering the market to buy and sell it.¡±


    Jiang Feng sensed that something was amiss. ¡°Is that so? Tell me about it.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s very strange. At that time, the general consensus about Pork Inc. was not bad. The risk was not high. Even if the price went down, one wouldn¡¯t lose a lot of money. The price was clearly goingup before I borrowed the money, but after borrowing the money, it went down,¡± Zhang Qidong said with a strange expression on his face.


    Jiang Feng understood immediately. How could there be such a huge contrast before and after? How could the situation change in such a short time? How could it be such a coincidence? It was obvious that someone was trying to sabotage it.


    It was likely that Luo Yuchang was targeting Cinda Financial. He might have invested to disrupt the market. He wanted Zhang Qidong to go bankrupt so he could seize the opportunity to acquire the company.


    It was like killing two birds with one stone. Not only did Luo Yuchang become a good person, but he would also expand his company. This was a carefully laid plan. No wonder Zhang Qidong invested so much money. As it turned out, Luo Yuchang was causing trouble.


    Jiang Feng would never believe that Luo Yuchang was being helpful, not when the law of the jungle was applied in this world. Moreover, it seemed like Luo Yuchang and Zhang Qidong did not have a particularly close relationship. Why would Luo Yuchang show such goodwill for no reason? No matter what, Luo Yuchang was very suspicious.


    Jiang Feng said seriously, ¡°Investigate this Luo Yuchang. I feel that something¡¯s not right.¡±


    Zhang Qidong nodded. It was good to investigate this matter to see if Luo Yuchang was sincere or if he was trying to dig a hole for Cinda Financial.


    Jiang Feng said, ¡°Go on. What about the other company?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s also Quansheng Investment. The boss, Fang Quansheng, is a young genius like you. He easily earned 400 to 500 million¡­¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled faintly, ¡°This company sounds interesting¡­¡± Then, he added, ¡°For now, investigate Luo Yuchang. I¡¯ll let you know if there¡¯s anything else.¡±


    The first target would be Kerry Financial Company.


    ¡°Alright,¡± Zhang Qidong said with a nod. At the same time, he thought to himself, ¡®Is the target for the acquisition Kerry? Luo Yuchang isn¡¯t easy to deal with. I wonder what President Jiang is planning. Is he trying to seek revenge? Ha, in any case, following President Jiang is the right decision.¡¯


    Song Yaozhong, who was at the side, also shared similar thoughts with Zhang Qidong. He could not help but ask, ¡°President Jiang, what are you trying to do?¡±


    ¡°Acquire Kerry,¡± Jiang Feng replied nonchalantly.


    Although Song Yaozhong had already expected this, he was still shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief. His mouth that was agape could fit several eggs. After a beat, he stammered, ¡°Y-you¡­ Are you serious?¡±


    They knew what kind of status Kerry Financial Company had. It was equivalent to more than a dozen Cinda Financial. No matter if they had guessed it earlier, it was still shocking to hear that Jiang Feng intended to acquire Kerry FinancialCompany. It felt like they were overestimating themselves. The owner of Kerry Financial Company, Luo Yuchang, was not someone to be trifled with. If they provoked him, their future would be very difficult.


    Song Yaozhong could not help but worry.


    Zhang Qidong was just like Song Yaozhong when he heard Jiang Feng intended to acquire Kerry Financial Company. Based on the amount of money Luo Yuchang easily lent him previously, he felt that Luo Yuchang definitely had more than 10,000 ways to deal with Cinda Financial.


    Cinda Financial was a small company, to begin with. If they tried to devour such a huge target, would they not end up choking? If they were targeted by Luo Yuchang, their days would not be easy.


    Apart from that, among the top investment companies, Kerry Financial Company could be considered the best. It would be relatively easier to acquire the other companies instead. Why did Jiang Feng choose Kerry Financial Company?


    ¡°Of course. Our first move is to acquire Kerry,¡± Jiang Feng said firmly.


    Since Luo Yuchang schemed against his company, Luo Yuchang would have to pay the price. Moreover, he had used such a sinister method.


    Apart from that, this was also a good opportunity. Luo Yuchang had long set his eyes on Cinda Financial. Even if Jiang Feng did not do anything, Luo Yuchang would still continue to target Cinda Financial. As such, Jiang Feng might as well seize this chance to acquire Kerry Financial Company. This was simply killing two birds with one stone.


    ¡°Luo Yuchang easily lent me so much money previously. It seemed like he didn¡¯t even care if I¡¯d lose the money. Can we really acquire Kerry?¡± Zhang Qidong said with an uncertain expression on his face. He lowered his head, clearly lacking in confidence. He had worked hard his entire life. Only once in more than 30 years did he manage to muster up his courage to charge to the front line. Alas, in the end, he failed.


    Moreover, acquisitions of companies could involve billions.


    It was not easy for Cinda Financial to emerge from the crisis unscathed.


    Jiang Dong muttered, unaware that he was speaking out loud, ¡°Isn¡¯t it a bit too soon to make such a move when we just resolved the crisis?¡±


    ¡°No, it¡¯s not too soon at all. If we don¡¯t make a move, we¡¯ll only stay in the same spot. Moreover, Kerry might not let Cinda go even if we don¡¯t do anything,¡± Jiang Feng explained patiently before he told them about his suspicion of Luo Yuchang lending money to Zhang Qidong.


    Song Yaozhong felt that Jiang Feng¡¯s analysis made sense. ¡°Old Zhang, President Jiang is right. Moreover, we earned hundreds of millions. Perhaps, this kind of impossibility would become a possibility as well¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right. I¡¯m just too nervous,¡± Zhang Qidong said with a sigh. He had brought the company into the abyss of suffering previously.


    Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction. Then, he said casually, ¡°Alright, both of you can deal with the other things. Let me know the results as soon as you know.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, aren¡¯t you going to stay in the company for a while?¡± Zhang Qidong asked when he saw Jiang Feng making a move to leave. He was reluctant to part with Jiang Feng so quickly. He had learned a lot when he spoke to Jiang Feng previously so he wanted to learn more.


    Song Yaozhong looked at Jiang Feng enviously. At such a young age, Jiang Feng had a sharp judgment and was capable of turning the tide when the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Now, he was even leading them to expand the company.


    The things Song Yaozhong had occasionally talked about with Zhang Qidong were slowly being realized after Jiang Feng appeared. In the future, Cinda Financial might really have a place at the top. He believed in the young man in front of him.


    Jiang Feng said politely, ¡°No, I have other things to do.¡±


    In fact, Jiang Feng did not have anything to do. However, it was too uncomfortable for him to stay here. Moreover, he preferred to be a hands-off boss. It was fun to go out and play as well.

 Chapter 57 - Slapping Himself Thrice

    Once Jiang Feng came out, the employees began to gather around him enthusiastically again. He cleared his throat and waved his hand as he said, ¡°It¡¯s thanks to everyone that the company made so much money this time. Everyone, don¡¯t praise me. I¡¯ll visit the company another day. I have things to attend to so I can¡¯t stay and chat. Work hard, and there¡¯ll be a bonus at the end of the month!¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re too kind! We won¡¯t bother you anymore! Please go and attend to your matters.¡±


    The employees did not disperse immediately. Instead, their eyes shone brightly as they looked at Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Good luck, everyone,¡± Jiang Feng said with a perfunctory smile.


    At this time, an employee said, ¡°President Jiang, do you need me to drive you around?¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, I can be your driver! You don¡¯t need to pay me. I just want to chat with you!¡±


    ¡°Me too! I¡¯ve been driving for many years! I guarantee that you¡¯ll have smooth rides when I¡¯m driving!¡±


    All the employees smiled ingratiatingly. All of them wanted to flatter Jiang Feng. Since he was able to help Cinda Financial earn several million, there was no doubt that he was very capable. Perhaps, if they interacted with him more, they might become like him. Even if they could not be like him, it was still very good to be able to learn a thing or two from him.


    Jiang Feng was a little overwhelmed by his employees¡¯ enthusiasm. He wondered if he should enter and leave using the back door next time. He did not expect that there would be such a commotion whenever he appeared.


    ¡°No need, no need. You guys should return to your work. I can drive. Thank you,¡± Jiang Feng said politely.


    The male employees were envious while the female employees were infatuated with their god-like boss. Not only was he very capable, but he was also very friendly. Zhang Qidong was not even this friendly when he was the boss.


    Jiang Feng was rich and handsome. If possible, the female employees really wanted to marry him immediately. Now, he was earning several hundred million. In the future, who knew how many billion he would earn? Regardless, it would be a blessing to be his wife.


    ¡­


    After Jiang Feng left the company, he sighed in relief. He felt like he was going to be blinded by his employees¡¯ shining eyes.


    At this time, Jiang Feng¡¯s phone began to ring. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the caller.


    It was none other than Shen Wen, the person who mocked him and abandoned him when he announced his bankruptcy.


    ¡®Why is he suddenly calling me?¡¯


    After answering the call, Jiang Feng asked coldly, ¡°Shen Wen, what¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Jiang Feng, I was wrong before. I thought about it carefully. I lost you as a good friend due to my selfishness. I treated me so well, but I let you down,¡± Shen Wen said as his voice became increasingly low. It sounded as though he was sincere.


    Shen Wen continued to say, ¡°Jiang Feng, I was wrong. Can we return to the way things were? Let¡¯s have meals together and sing together. Even when we have families of our own, let¡¯s continue to be in each other¡¯s lives. I was a bast*rd before. After I made money, I forgot about you. I should really slap myself three times in front of you. If I were you, I¡¯d be angry as well.¡±


    After a pause, Shen Wen asked, ¡°Do you have time to go for a meal?¡±


    ¡®Slap himself three times in front of me? What a good idea!¡¯ Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes lit up. He was not a fool. How could Shen Wen change his ways so quickly? Shen Wen must have heard some rumors.


    Since Shen Wen was so eager to admit his mistakes and reconcile with him, Jiang Feng would be a good person for now. It was a good opportunity for him to probe what kind of rumors Shen Wen heard. As such, he said, ¡°Alright. What about now?¡±


    Jiang Feng agreed so readily that Shen Wen was unable to react for a moment. He was delighted when he recovered his senses and hurriedly said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll come and pick you up. Where are you now?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m at Primo Dragon Bank on Tianxuan Street,¡± Jiang Feng said. He was naturally happy to let someone pick him up. He had to keep a low profile and not let others know that he was now the owner of Cinda Financial. It was best to say he was at the bank on Tianxuan Street.


    ¡°I¡¯ll be there in ten minutes!¡±


    ¡­


    After ending the call, Shen Wen left in a hurry. He could not let this big fish go. Previously, he had been blind. If he did not fall out with Jiang Feng earlier, he would have earned a lot of money. Now, he was going to get back what should have been his.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng walked to Primo Dragon Bank and waited there. It did not take long before a Land Rover pulled up in front of him.


    Shen Wen got out of the car and hastily opened the passenger door for Jiang Sheng. He was extremely enthusiastic.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, come!¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded lightly, and his expression was indifferent as he entered the car.


    Shen Wen¡¯s eyes flashed as he asked, sounding concerned, ¡°Did you manage to raise enough money for your little sister¡¯s medical fees? I still have some money saved up. If you don¡¯t have enough, I can lend it to you.¡±


    Jiang Feng naturally saw through Shen Wen¡¯s scheming thoughts. He said lightly in a mocking tone, ¡°I¡¯ve raised enough money. If I had waited for you, I would¡¯ve already been kicked out of the hospital.¡±


    Shen Wen¡¯s expression changed, but he quickly adjusted it. He asked with a contrite expression on his face, ¡°Do you still blame me? I was really wrong, and I went down the wrong path. However, I know my mistakes now.¡±


    At the same time, Shen Wen thought to himself darkly, ¡®This Jiang Feng really doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him. I¡¯ve already said so much, but he still refuses to forgive me. It seems like I¡¯d have to do more. Otherwise, it seems like he really won¡¯t forgive me.¡¯


    Shen Wen deliberately chose a western restaurant with an elegant interior and quiet environment. He said enthusiastically, ¡°I remember when we were in school, we didn¡¯t have any money. At that time, we said we¡¯d come to a western restaurant once we made money. However, up until now, we¡¯ve never been to a western restaurant together.¡±


    Jiang Feng remained indifferent. ¡°Is that so? Then, we¡¯ll have to order more later. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to live up to our previous promise.¡±


    Shen Wen said cheerfully, ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. I was wrong before so today¡¯s meal is on me. Jiang Feng, you can order whatever you want.¡±


    After the waiter led the duo upstairs, he asked, ¡°What would you like to order?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll have one of all the expensive dishes,¡± Jiang Feng said as he looked at Shen Wen and grinned. He thought to himself, ¡®Since you want to treat me, I¡¯ll just order this much.¡¯


    Shen Wen was slightly taken aback. Then, he gritted his teeth. The restaurant was an expensive one. Based on Jiang Feng¡¯s orders, he would definitely have to spend a lot of money today.


    ¡®He¡¯s really not polite! I definitely have to get more money from him. Otherwise, I¡¯d be letting myself down!¡¯


    Jiang Feng pretended to be concerned and asked, ¡°Did you bring enough money?¡±


    Shen Wen laughed. ¡°I brought enough. However, can you eat so much food? Anyway, it¡¯s fine. We¡¯re brothers! We should eat something good when we meet again after so long.¡±


    ¡°Of course. See how much I understand you, Brother,¡± Jiang Feng said, playing along. At the same time, he thought to himself, ¡®Since you insist on pretending, I¡¯ll pretend as well.¡¯


    After the waiter left, Shen Wen decided to get down to business. He asked, ¡°Jiang Feng, how are you doing? Are youbetter now?¡±


    Jiang Feng understood Shen Wen¡¯s intention. He changed the topic and asked slowly, ¡°Brother, are you going to keep the promise you made to me on the phone?¡±


    ¡°Promise?¡± Shen Wen looked at Jiang Feng in confusion. Did he promise something on the phone? He did not remember anything. He wondered if Jiang Feng discovered something.

 Chapter 58 - Slap Yourself First and We’ll Talk About Reconciling

    Jiang Feng smiled innocently and only said, ¡°Slap.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shen Wen¡¯s smile froze. ¡°Jiang Feng, are you joking?¡±


    Shen Wen thought Jiang Feng was really strange. How could Jiang Feng take those words seriously? If it were anyone else, they knew it was just a formality. How could Jiang Feng be so shameless?


    ¡°How can I joke about this?¡± Jiang Feng asked. He could not bother with pretending anymore as he said bluntly, ¡°You owe me. You should slap yourself. Otherwise, how could the matter be justified? My sister really needed that money back then.¡±


    After thinking about it carefully, Shen Wen thought it was reasonable for Jiang Feng to act like this. Hence, he quickly feigned an expression of remorse and lowered his head. Then, he muttered, ¡°I was in the wrong, but isn¡¯t Little Yu better now? That means my mistake isn¡¯t too big, right? Why are you being like that?¡±


    Jiang Feng retorted, ¡°So what you¡¯re saying is that I¡¯m in the wrong for cornering you now?¡±


    ¡°No, no. I was wrong. It¡¯s my fault. However, we¡¯ve been brothers for so many years. Now, you¡¯re trying to humiliate me because of a mistake I made. I¡¯ve already admitted my faults,¡± Shen Wen said seriously as he thought to himself anxiously, ¡®Why is Jiang Feng like this? Everything should be forgiven and forgotten with this meal! Why is he going so far?¡¯


    Shen Wen had made a mistake in the company so he needed five million urgently now. He could not let go of this opportunity.


    Shen Wen said again, looking very understanding, ¡°Jiang Feng, I definitely won¡¯t make the same mistake again! We¡¯re brothers, and we have a good relationship. Why must we do this? If we continue to harp on this matter, there¡¯ll definitely be cracks in our relationship.¡±


    Jiang Feng did not want to talk nonsense so he said bluntly, ¡°Slap yourself then we¡¯ll talk about forgetting this matter.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Shen Wen could not pretend anymore. His expression was quite unsightly as he forced a smile and asked, ¡°Jiang Feng, must you do this?¡±


    ¡°Yes, there¡¯s no room for maneuver,¡± Jiang Feng said as he calmly picked up the teapot to pour himself a cup of tea.


    Smack!


    ¡®Damn it!¡¯ Shen Wen gritted his teeth indignantly. However, when he thought about what he needed, he hardened his resolve and slapped himself.


    The sound echoed in the room.


    Jiang Feng saw the palm print of Shen Wen¡¯s right cheek. It looked like it was already swelling up. He found the sight rather comical. He could not help but laugh and said, ¡°Shen Wen, you¡¯re really interesting.¡±


    Despite the sharp pain on his cheek, Shen Wen smiled apologetically and said, ¡°Now that it¡¯s done, we can reconcile, right? Jiang Feng, you have to keep your word.¡±


    ¡°What? It¡¯s just one slap. I clearly remember you said three slaps earlier,¡± Jiang Feng said as he looked at Shen Wen.


    ¡°Jiang Feng!¡± Shen Wen said in a low voice. His voice clearly carried a hint of anger.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you want to reconcile?¡± Jiang Feng asked nonchalantly as he gently picked up his cup.


    ¡®I have to endure this for the five million! It¡¯s not too late to seek revenge later!¡¯


    Smack!


    Smack!


    After two consecutive slaps, Shen Wen¡¯s face was very swollen. It hurt when he tried to smile, and he could not even speak properly. He asked, ¡°Are you satisfied now?¡±


    Jiang Feng stifled his laughter as he rose to his feet and said, ¡°Forget it. I suddenly changed my mind.¡±


    Upon hearing this, Shen Wen rose to his feet and cursed, ¡°F*ck! Jiang Feng, are you toying with me? If I didn¡¯t know you were only pretending to be bankrupt, do you think I¡¯d look for you? Do you really think you¡¯re so great? If it weren¡¯t for your small amount of money, who would care about you? This is all you¡¯re worth!¡±


    Shen Wen continued on his tirade. ¡°F*ck! You¡¯re really asking for it! I must have been blind to come looking for you! Jiang Feng, just you wait! If I don¡¯t deal with you, my surname is not Shen!¡±


    Jiang Feng sneered. ¡°I knew you were insincere. I was wondering why you¡¯d look for me out of the blue. As it turns out, you knew I was lying about being bankrupt. Shen Wen, did you really think I¡¯d fall for your nonsense? I remember your previous words clearly, and I¡¯ve long understood what kind of person you are. You came looking for me for a favor, did you think I¡¯d be moved? Save it! I¡¯m no longer the naive person from before! You¡¯ve changed, and I naturally have changed as well.¡± Then, before leaving, he added, ¡°Remember to pay the bill.¡±


    Jiang Feng blocked Shen Wen¡¯s number as he left.


    At the same time, Shen Wen shouted from behind, ¡°Jiang Feng, come back!¡±


    ¡­


    When Jiang Feng stepped outside of the restaurant, his phone began to ring. It was an unfamiliar number.


    After answering the call, before Jiang Feng could speak, a warm voice asked, ¡°Little Feng, how have you been?¡±


    Jiang Feng was familiar with the voice. It was one of his relatives, but he had forgotten the other party¡¯s name. His expression darkened as he replied, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Why are you calling me?¡±


    ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because I miss you! I haven¡¯t heard from you in so many days. I wanted to visit your parents, but they weren¡¯t around. Where did your parents go? How are Little Yu¡¯s legs? Have you paid the hospital fee? I still have some money.¡±


    Jiang Feng really wanted to laugh. Suddenly, the other party cared about his sister¡¯s legs. Previously, the other party had mocked him when he posted on WeChat, asking to borrow money.


    ¡®Miss me? Back then, you were so merciless, but now you said that you miss me? How shameless!¡¯


    Jiang Feng said in a glacial tone, ¡°There¡¯s no need for you to know about those things. Get to the point.¡±


    ¡°Little Feng, don¡¯t say that. I heard you didn¡¯t go bankrupt. I¡¯m really happy for you. Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it? I was so worried. I was so angry back then because I thought you made your parents suffer. Don¡¯t take it to heart. We¡¯re a family, after all. We shouldn¡¯t be estranged¡­¡±


    Jiang Feng did not show any mercy and ended the call without another word.


    In just a moment, Jiang Feng¡¯s phone rang again. It was another unfamiliar number. He thought it was likely another one of his relatives again.


    Those people were really realistic. They knew he was not really bankrupt so they came looking for him again. How ridiculous! When he was at the lowest point, it was fine if they wanted to distance themselves from him, but they had to mock him and scold him as well. Now that they knew he was only lying about being bankrupt, they began to flatter him. They really changed their faces very fast according to the situation.


    ¡­


    Over the next few days, Jiang Feng was inundated by calls from his relatives. His phone would not stop ringing, and he wished he could cut up his SIM card. Those people really knew how to annoy him.


    Fortunately, they did not know where his parents were staying now. Otherwise, even if he had ten of his current villa, they would not even be able to accommodate all of his blood-sucking relatives.


    He had to go to his parents¡¯ old place in a few days. If those relatives dared to make a scene in public, he would not hesitate to chase them away.

 Chapter 59 - Second Uncle, Do You Not Have

    Jiang Feng did not go to the company over the following few days. Since Zhang Qidong and the others were there to oversee the company, there was no need for him to worry.


    At this moment, Jiang Feng lay on his bed, lost in his thoughts. His relatives had been calling him, but fortunately, they still did not know where his new house was. For the time being, they would not be able to disturb his family. However, this problem had to be solved sooner or later.


    At this time, he received a call from his sister. His heart skipped a beat, wondering if his relatives had come looking for trouble. His heart tightened when he thought about his parents.


    Jiang Feng asked nervously, ¡°What happened? Did the relatives come?¡±


    ¡°No, Second Uncle is here. He wants to see you. Mom and Dad want you to come back,¡± Little Yu said with a smile.


    Their second uncle treated them very well. Previously, there had been no news. Now that he was here, Little Yu was very happy.


    On the contrary, Jiang Feng did not look very happy. Instead, his heart sank. He could not help but wonder why his second uncle showed up only after news of the bankruptcy spread. Did he come to ask for money as well? His second uncle had always been good to his family. When the other relatives shunned their family, it was his second uncle who helped them and gave warmth to him and his little sister. Was it possible that his uncle had also become like his other relatives?


    With this thought in mind, Jiang Feng felt uncomfortable. He really wished his second uncle did not come to ask for money. Were all his relatives like that or was there something wrong with him or his family?


    Jiang Feng pursed his lips. His mood was low.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng took a cab to the hospital. When he arrived, he hesitated. In the past, his second uncle always wore a faint smile and a doting expression on his face. He hoped his second uncle did not change.


    After a moment, Jiang Feng calmed down and prepared himself for the worst.


    Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei were naturally present. In addition, Jiang Feng saw a bearded middle-aged man in his forties. Although his appearance had changed, he still looked familiar to Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng pursed his lips, thinking that his second uncle came for money.


    At this moment, Yu Xiumei rose to her feet. She smiled apologetically at her brother-in-law before she said to Jiang Feng, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Quick, greet your second uncle.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong added, ¡°Little Feng is probably too excited. He was talking about you previously. Little Feng, hurry up and greet your second uncle.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s mood was low as he bowed politely. ¡°Hello, Second Uncle.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ve grown so much. You¡¯re no longer the same as when you were young. You¡¯re very bold now,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle scoffed and said in a slightly cold voice. He was clearly displeased. He felt that Jiang Feng had gotten out of control and had even brought trouble to his family.


    ¡°Second Uncle, you¡¯re¡­¡± Jiang Feng was perplexed. He wanted to say something but hesitated. At the same time, there was a hint of expectations in his heart. He wondered if it was possible that his second uncle did not come to look for money. Perhaps, his second uncle did not change and was still the same person who treated his family sincerely.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle felt his anger rise when he thought about the post on WeChat¡¯s Moments. He cursed angrily, ¡°You brat! Do you have a brain? Do you know that Little Yu still needs treatment? It wasn¡¯t easy for your family to receive 10 million yuan in compensation, but you actually squandered it all! Your family didn¡¯t have money, to begin with. It was not easy to receive such a huge sum of money, but you gambled it all on Bitcoin! What are you going to do about Little Yu now? You don¡¯t have the capability, but you dare to take such risks!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s uncle continued his tirade. ¡°You dare to mess around just because you have some money! Your parents worked hard their entire lives, and yet, you didn¡¯t think about saving the money so they could enjoy their lives! What an unfilial son!¡±


    At the end of his words, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle looked a little teary-eyed when he turned to look at Little Yu, Jiang Jianzhong, and Yu Xiumei who were dressed very plainly. His heart ached, and he felt distressed.


    At the same time, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was confused. Jiang Feng used to be a very sensible kid in the past. He did not understand why Jiang Feng would act like that now. He truly pitied his brother and sister-in-law. His niece, whom he doted on, needed treatment, and yet, they did not have money to pay for the medical fees. Fortunately, he found out in time. Otherwise, his niece might have been kicked out of the hospital in a few days. At that time, his niece¡¯s life would be ruined.


    With this thought in mind, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle grew anxious again. He quickly took a stack of cash out of his bag and said, ¡°There¡¯s 30,000 yuan here. Hurry up, and use this to pay for Little Yu¡¯s medical fees. Otherwise, the hospital might drive her away.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle moved to stand in front of Jiang Feng and pushed the money into Jiang Feng¡¯s hand. He said urgently, ¡°Hurry up. Go.¡±


    Jiang Feng finally regained his senses. His heart was suffused with warmth, and all his worries vanished in an instant. He had misunderstood his second uncle. His second uncle did not change at all, and his second uncle was still the same person who treated them very well.


    Clearly, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was unaware of the bankruptcy being fake. However, his other relatives had clearly known about it; that was why they had been calling him non-stop. If it were not for the fact that his relatives did not know where they were staying, they would have long gathered at his new house. Did his second uncle not have access to the Internet?


    Jiang Feng was very moved. He said sincerely, ¡°Second Uncle, you misunderstood. The truth is that I didn¡¯t lose any money. I¡¯ve also already paid for Little Yu¡¯s medical fees.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was dumbfounded. He lowered his hand that was holding the money subconsciously as he wondered inwardly, ¡®Didn¡¯t lose any money? What¡¯s going on? I clearly remember seeing Little Feng¡¯s post about losing everything. Did I see wrongly? However, I read it several times and only came over after confirming it. If he didn¡¯t lose money, does this mean he didn¡¯t invest in Bitcoin or what?¡¯


    As though he could read his second uncle¡¯s thoughts, Jiang Feng explained with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s true that I invested in Bitcoin, but I made 100 million instead of losing money.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong chimed in, ¡°Second Brother, don¡¯t worry. Little Feng really made a lot of money. Little Yu¡¯s medical fees had been paid for a while now. Little Feng even hired a very good doctor.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Little Feng is very capable and filial. He even hired a doctor to treat his father¡¯s old illness. He even bought a villa for us. You have to visit us later. It¡¯s really big and nice,¡± Yu Xiumei said with a smile, barely able to conceal her joy.


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle sighed in relief. He said, ¡°You brat, you even fooled your second uncle! As it turned out, you made money. As expected of my nephew. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so remarkable. Second Uncle is proud of you.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle patted Jiang Feng¡¯s shoulder. The pride in his eyes could not be concealed at all. He did not expect Jiang Feng to give him such a big surprise. In the past, Jiang Feng was a simple child. As it turned out, Jiang Feng was a genius. In the future, his brother and sister-in-law would have nothing to worry about for the rest of their lives and no longer have to break their backs working. Since his nephew was very filial, he was very relieved.


    Jiang Feng stuffed the money back into his second uncle¡¯s hand and pulled his second uncle to sit down before he asked, ¡°Second Uncle, you should keep this money for yourself. How have you been doing recently?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle forced a smile on his face and said, ¡°I¡¯m okay. Life is filled with ups and downs, but I¡¯m still doing okay.¡±


    Jiang Feng could tell that something was wrong. His second uncle likely did not want to worry Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei was around so his second uncle had said such words.


    However, Jiang Jianzhong naturally could tell something was wrong as well. He quickly said, ¡°Second Brother, stay with us while you¡¯re here. It¡¯d be livelier at home with an extra person.¡±


    ¡°No, no, no. How can I trouble all of you?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle shook his head and waved his hand.


    Little Yu chimed in, ¡°Second uncle, stay with us! I miss you so much. The house is too big and empty. Stay with us!¡±


    ¡°Second Uncle, it¡¯s decided. You should live with my parents,¡± Jiang Feng quickly said.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle smiled foolishly. He was very moved. He said, ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll stay and accompany Little Yu.¡±


    He felt very satisfied that Jiang Feng and Little Yu were so sensible.

 Chapter 60 - A Swarm of Flies Has Gathered

    At this moment, Jiang Feng thought of something and asked curiously, ¡°That¡¯s right. Second Uncle, how did you know that Little Sister is at this hospital? And where¡¯s Second Aunt?¡±


    ¡°Do you remember your Uncle Bai Yuan? He was the one who told me about it. He¡¯s been very busy recently so he couldn¡¯t come. He also said he wanted to give you money,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, ¡°He¡¯s coming to visit soon; he¡¯ll arrive in a while. Your second aunt is in the neighboring city. I was thinking of returning to the city after bringing the money to you.¡±


    ¡®He wanted to give me money?¡¯ Jiang Feng sneered inwardly. If his second uncle did not mention it, he would have forgotten about it. Previously, when he had posted saying that he had lost all his money after investing in Bitcoin and was in urgent need of money to save his sister, Bai Yuan had been the fiercest in scolding him. Bai Yuan even scolded all 18 generations of the Jiang family¡¯s ancestors.


    Bai Yuan had really shown his true colors when Jiang Feng was down. Now that he knew the bankruptcy was fake, he wanted to use a little money to obtain much more money.


    Jiang Feng sneered. ¡®He¡¯s really smart. He even dared to use Second Uncle¡­¡¯


    Speaking of the devil, before Jiang Feng could reply, a man with a white beard came in. Behind him was a group of relatives who wore ingratiating smiles on their faces. All of them carried fruit baskets and all sorts of tonics.


    In less than half a minute, the room was crowded.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t seen all of you in a while. I didn¡¯t disturb you, did I?¡± a middle-aged woman said. She stepped forward and held Yu Xiumei¡¯s hand affectionately.


    The others were unwilling to be outdone. They stepped forward and began to show their concern.


    ¡°How are Little Yu¡¯s legs? Jianzhong, are you feeling better?¡±


    ¡°I was in the wrong before. I didn¡¯t mean to ignore all of you. I¡¯m no better than beasts,¡± someone said as he slapped himself. However, the strength he used was negligible.


    ¡°Old Jiang, do you still need our help? We¡¯ll definitely do our best to help you!¡±


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle looked at Bai Yuan and said, ¡°Bai Yuan, you¡¯re here.¡±


    Bai Yuan nodded and said warmly, ¡°That¡¯s right. I didn¡¯t expect you to arrive before me. I thought we¡¯d arrive at the same time.¡± Then, he turned to Jiang Feng and said, ¡°Little Feng, I¡¯ll send you some money for Little Yu¡¯s medical fees. Do you need more? I can help pay for it first.¡±


    ¡°No need. I don¡¯t want to owe you anything,¡± Jiang Feng said, annoyed. These people were worse than flies and difficult to get rid of.


    Seeing that he was not making any progress with Jiang Feng, Bai Yuan said to Yu Xiumei, ¡°Sister-in-law, how¡¯s Little Yu¡¯s condition now? Is she alright?¡±


    At the same time, Jiang Jianzhong had a headache when he saw the group of relatives in the room.


    ¡®Why did these people suddenly appear? Did they really know that Little Feng isn¡¯t bankrupt?¡¯


    Yu Xiumei forced a smile on her face and said, ¡°She¡¯s fine. Little Feng is very filial. He¡¯s arranged everything for his father and sister.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s expression was indifferent. He did not bother to be polite to these people who were desperate for his money. They could not find his new house so they came to the hospital. He wanted to see what kind of tricks these people were going to play next.


    Bai Yuan pretended to sigh in relief as he nodded. Then, he said, ¡°It seems like there¡¯s no use for the money I prepared. Little Yu, what do you want to eat? Uncle Bai Yuan will buy it for you!¡±


    Little Yu rolled her eyes. She said bluntly, ¡°Old fox, stop pretending. You don¡¯t have any good intentions.¡±


    ¡°Child, I¡¯m your uncle. Why are you speaking so rudely? Did someone bully you? Tell me, and I¡¯ll help you vent your anger!¡±


    Little Yu felt speechless


    ¡®Does he not understand human language? For money, he¡¯s really shameless! This is ridiculous!¡¯


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle also saw the true colors of this group of relatives. He stepped forward and waved his hand as he said, ¡°Third Brother, Eighth Brother, Second Aunt, and Seventh Sister, Little Yu¡¯s legs are not completely healed. She needs to rest. You should visit another time.¡±


    ¡®Second Uncle¡­¡¯ Jiang Feng¡¯s heart moved again as memories surfaced in his mind. When he was young, his second uncle was like that as well. His second uncle had always cared the most about him and his sister. Now that he had the ability, he was determined to repay his second uncle. He wanted his second uncle to live happily in his old age like his parents.


    After listening to his second brother, Jiang Jianzhong became smarter. He said, ¡°Little Yu wants to rest. All of you should leave first and visit another time.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡±


    The relatives were unable to react for a moment. They were only here for a few minutes but were already asked to leave. After a brief moment, they finally reacted.


    ¡°Old Jiang, where are you staying now? Why is the old house empty? We can¡¯t visit an empty house¡­¡±


    ¡°Are you living on the streets now? Old Jiang, you can stay at my house if you have nowhere to stay! However, how can you have no place to live? Old Jiang, you must be living very well now, right?¡±


    ¡°When are you going to invite us to have a look at your new house? Old Jiang, you really treat us like outsiders. How can you not tell us about the fake bankruptcy? You made us worry for nothing.¡±


    Little Yu rolled her eyes. She said loudly, clearly indignant, ¡°All of you ingrates, get lost! Where we live now has nothing to do with you!¡±


    Little Yu was extremely irritated when she was these people pretending to be worried. She had clearly seen their viciousness previously. Now that those relatives knew they were not bankrupt, they came back like a swarm of flies.


    ¡°Child, how can you be so rude? Old Jiang, you have to discipline her properly. How can she speak to her elders like that?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Old Jiang. This child has to be beaten. Otherwise, she¡¯ll only become more rebellious. She¡¯s already so rude now. I can¡¯t imagine how much worse it would be in the future!¡±


    ¡°I think you should send her to a boarding school. The teachers are first-class and can help you educate her. I have a few recommendations. Do you want me to introduce them to you?¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong was furious. He did not care much about what people said about him, but he could tolerate others speaking about his daughter in such a manner. He said coldly, ¡°Enough. My child has nothing to do with any of you. She¡¯s very good. Your words are too much.¡±


    Yu Xiumei was equally furious. Her face and her neck were red as she said, ¡°My Little Yu has always been very good. You don¡¯t need to care about her. Just take good care of yourself.¡±


    ¡°My little sister needs to rest. Please hurry up and leave,¡± Jiang Feng said indifferently as he opened the door.


    Bai Yuan saw that the situation was not right so he hurriedly said, ¡°Old Jiang, don¡¯t be angry. I was just joking. I¡¯ll leave first. Little Yu, take good care of yourself.¡±


    Seeing this, the other relatives followed Bai Yuan¡¯s lead.


    ¡°Little Yu, I only said those words because I care about you. Child, don¡¯t be so petty. When you were young, I used to bring you out to play.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a frown, ¡°Alright, alright, leave now. When Little Yu feels better, you visit her.¡±


    ¡°Second Brother, you¡¯re overstepping your boundary. This doesn¡¯t seem to have anything to do with you,¡± someone said unhappily.


    ¡°Old Jiang and the others have said that we¡¯re disturbing Little Yu¡¯s rest. It includes you as well. What are you pretending for?¡±


    ¡°You should leave with us. Little Yu needs to rest after all.¡±


    ¡°Little Yu is very close to her second uncle. How can we compare to him? Let¡¯s leave first. The most important thing is for Little Yu to rest,¡± Bai Yuan said. At the same time, he had other thoughts on his mind. They could not stay at the ward nor could they go to the Jiang family house now. However, as long as they persisted, it was only a matter of time before they succeeded.

 Chapter 61 - You Have to Lend Me the Money No

    Jiang Feng was tired of this group of hypocrites.


    Yu Xiumei said, ¡°All of you can leave first. The two children haven¡¯t seen their second uncle for many years. They¡¯re very close and have many things to talk about. You can visit another time.¡±


    At this point, the group of relatives could only leave resentfully. Only the middle-aged woman who had held Yu Xiumei¡¯s hand earlier did not leave. After the others left, she suddenly fell to her knees with a thud.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡± Yu Xiumei was shocked by this. She hurriedly moved to pull the middle-aged woman to her feet.


    ¡°No, no, no,¡± the middle-aged woman said, determined to remain on her knees. She shook her head and said, ¡°Little Mei, only your family can save me now. I really have no other way.¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at his aunt coldly. At the same time, he was curious about what she was going to say next. What kind of trick was she going to pull now? Unlike Shen Wen who was forced to slap himself, his aunt did not even hesitate to immediately discard her pride.


    Yu Xiumei¡¯s heart softened. She sighed and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What happened? Let¡¯s talk after you get up. You put us in a difficult position if you insist on acting like this.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman rose to her feet. Tears streamed down her face as she said, ¡°Without my knowledge, my husband has been gambling! He owed a lot of money. As such, even my child is suffering. I¡¯ve borrowed as much money as I could, but it¡¯s still not enough. I really don¡¯t know what to do.¡± Then, the woman lowered her voice as though she was embarrassed as she continued to say, ¡°I really don¡¯t want to do this, but Little Mei, I hope you can lend me some money.¡±


    Before Yu Xiumei could speak, Jiang Feng asked with a half-smile on his face, ¡°How much do you want to borrow?¡±


    ¡°F-five¡­ Five million¡­¡± the middle-aged woman said hesitantly as her eyes flashed.


    Jiang Feng was not surprised. These people were really asking a lot.


    Yu Xiumei was about to agree when she recalled her son¡¯s words. She said, ¡°We¡¯ve already spent a lot of money. We really don¡¯t have much money left.¡±


    ¡°Then how much do you have left? Is the ten million gone?¡± the middle-aged woman asked skeptically. She clearly did not believe Yu Xiumei and continued to say, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. You can lend me as much as you have. I¡¯ll be very grateful to you. Please help me.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei exchanged a look, feeling troubled. Their son had told them not to lend their relatives money, but they felt for not doing anything when the other party was in such a bad situation.


    At this time, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle quickly said, ¡°They really don¡¯t have much money left. In fact, I just lent them some money.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t believe it! It¡¯s impossible! If you don¡¯t lend me money, I¡¯ll¡­ I¡¯ll¡­¡± the middle-aged woman said as she looked around. Then, she sat on the ground directly before she continued to say, ¡°If you don¡¯t lend me money, I won¡¯t leave at all!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said angrily, ¡°Why are you causing trouble here?¡±


    The middle-aged woman shook her head. ¡°What else can I do? My family is in trouble! I can only do this.¡±


    Jiang Feng said calmly, ¡°The money is with me. Let¡¯s talk outside.¡±


    ¡°Really? Old Jiang, Little Mei, is it true?¡± the middle-aged woman asked in surprise.


    ¡°Yes. We don¡¯t know much so we let Little Feng manage the money.¡±


    Yu Xiumei did not understand what Jiang Feng planned to do. However, when she saw the meaningful gaze that Jiang Feng shot her, she only nodded in agreement.


    The middle-aged woman sighed in relief inwardly. Thinking that she was about to achieve her goal, she could not help but feel smug. She hastily said, ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll go with you, I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    Jiang Feng led the middle-aged woman to the ground floor of the hospital.


    The middle-aged woman looked at Jiang Feng with sparkling eyes as though she was looking at a money tree. ¡°Little Feng, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely return the money you lend me.¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled as he asked, ¡°When did I say that I¡¯ll lend you money?¡±


    ¡°Little Feng, what do you mean by this?¡± the middle-aged woman said angrily, ¡°How much did I help you when you were young? Are you going to repay kindness in this manner?¡±


    ¡°You can continue to help us by leaving us alone. Don¡¯t let me see you again. Otherwise, I won¡¯t let you off,¡± Jiang Feng said icily.


    The middle-aged woman could not help but tremble. However, she steeled her nerves and said, ¡°Jiang Feng, what do you mean by this? You have to lend the money to me today no matter what! You¡¯re too selfish! What¡¯s wrong with sharing if you have the money? We treated you so well, but you¡¯re so ungrateful!¡±


    ¡°I still have things to do so I won¡¯t send you off. Take care,¡± Jiang Feng said expressionlessly before he turned to leave.


    ¡°Stop right there!¡± the middle-aged woman cried out, flustered. She reached out to pull Jiang Feng back.


    Jiang Feng moved to the side so the middle-aged woman¡¯s hand only clutched at the air. She had moved too quickly so when he dodged, she lost her footing and fell to the ground. She did not hesitate to take advantage of the situation and began to cry loudly, ¡°Look! Come look at this person! He¡¯s bullying people!¡±


    The middle-aged woman pounded her chest and cried bitterly, ¡°When I was young, I treated him so well. Now, he treats me so harshly just because I wanted to borrow a little money from him! What is happening to the world?! For the sake of money, he treats an old woman like me so ruthlessly! He wouldn¡¯t even help me up now that I fell!¡±


    A group of people began to gather, attracted by the commotion. They whispered among themselves, and some of them even began to film the scene.


    Jiang Feng only yawned and continued to walk away. He did not sleep well recently so he was in need of good sleep.


    ¡°Hey! Hey!¡± Seeing that Jiang Feng was leaving, the middle-aged woman rose to her feet anxiously, intending to chase after him. However, a huge crowd had gathered, impeding her way. In the end, she could only watch unwillingly as Jiang Feng vanished from sight.


    At this time, Bai Yuan, who was standing at the side, stepped forward to help the middle-aged woman to her feet. He said, ¡°Sister, this method won¡¯t work. We¡¯ll wait for them and follow them. They¡¯ll have to go home at some point, right?¡±


    The middle-aged woman instinctively looked behind Bai Yuan. It was not just Bai Yuan, all the other relatives still had yet to leave.


    ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± the middle-aged woman said confidently. She dusted her clothes. With so many people, she did not believe they would not be able to squeeze some money from Jiang Feng and his family.


    ¡­


    After Jiang Feng returned to the ward, Little Yu asked anxiously, ¡°Brother, how was it? Did you manage to deal with that old woman?¡± Then, she cursed, ¡°How disgusting! She scolded us and mocked us when we didn¡¯t have money. Now she¡¯s trying to morally kidnap us!¡±


    ¡°I think that story about her husband¡¯s gambling debt is fake. If it¡¯s true, then she deserves it! Evil has its retribution. Little Feng, did you lend her money?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was also very angry. He clutched his chest, unable to vent his anger.


    ¡°No. She continued acting unreasonably, but I just left. I know how to deal with them.¡± Jiang Feng said he shook his head.


    ¡°That¡¯s good. Let¡¯s not talk about them and put ourselves in a bad mood. Little Feng, you said you didn¡¯t lose money and even made money. How much did you earn?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle asked curiously.


    ¡°100 million,¡± Jiang Feng said with a slight smile.


    ¡°What?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle widened his eyes in shock. He asked again, ¡°Little Feng, how much did you say you earn?¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong could not stop smiling. He said, ¡°Second Brother, 100 million! 100 million!¡±

 Chapter 62 - 100 Million Is Too Little

    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was dumbstruck. After a while, he stammered,¡±Little Feng¡­ is really promising. He, he earns more than ordinary people. Ordinary young people can¡¯t compare to him at all.¡±


    Jiang Feng shook his head and said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s not enough. 100 million isn¡¯t enough. It¡¯s too little.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was further shocked by Jiang Feng¡¯s words. ¡®What did Little Feng say? 100 million is too little? Am I dreaming?¡¯


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle instinctively reached up to pat his face. He closed his eyes before opening them again.


    Seeing his second uncle¡¯s reaction, Jiang Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He stepped forward to stop his second uncle. ¡°Second Uncle, what are you doing?¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong also stepped forward and asked, ¡°Second Brother, why are you beating yourself? What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°I was checking if I was dreaming,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a smile as he scratched his head. Then, he looked at Jiang Feng in confusion and asked, ¡°Little Feng, are you bragging? I don¡¯t even dare to think about earning 100 million. Perhaps, it¡¯d take me a lifetime to earn that kind of money without eating and drinking.¡±


    His nephew was simply a genius, right? He had been doing business for so many years, but he had never earned so much money. Moreover, due to his poor management, he was on the verge of losing all his money.


    ¡°No, Second Uncle. I invested the money and profited,¡± Jiang Feng said as he shook his head.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was still shocked.


    ¡®What kind of shocking ability is this? Little Feng is only in his twenties when he should be working hard to earn money. However, he has now soared to the heavens, standing at the top of the pyramid! If this continues, his future is incomparably bright! He has so many years ahead of him. At that time, wouldn¡¯t he turn the world upside down?¡¯


    ¡°Little Feng, how did you do it?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle could not help but ask.


    ¡°I was just lucky with my speculation and invested correctly,¡± Jiang Feng said modestly.


    ¡°Little Feng, do your best in the future. Second Uncle thinks highly of you. You¡¯ll definitely make a fortune for the Jiang family,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said. He was so happy that he did not know what else to say and could only pat Jiang Feng¡¯s shoulder helplessly.


    The Jiang family¡¯s ancestors had accumulated a lot of virtue to have such a rare genius. Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle could not help but sigh emotionally in his heart. He could already Jiang Feng¡¯s glory in the future.


    ¡°Second Uncle, I will. In the future, you¡¯ll also live a happy life with us. If it weren¡¯t for your help in the past, I wouldn¡¯t have come this far,¡± Jiang Feng said seriously.


    ¡°Good, good,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said as he nodded repeatedly. He felt very moved.


    After that, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets when he heard about the villa. He felt like he was dreaming. His nephew was actually so successful.


    Despite having almost no money, he had been going around trying to scrape 30,000 yuan together to help his brother¡¯s family. He had accepted the fate of being poor and lonely for the rest of his life. Now that he met his nephew again, it seemed like his fate had changed.


    Jiang Feng said, ¡°Second Uncle, hurry up and take a seat. Our home will be your home from now on. You can choose any of the rooms there.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll take a seat, I¡¯ll take a seat.¡±


    Jiang Feng poured a glass of water for his second uncle and said in a friendly manner, ¡°Second Uncle, why didn¡¯t you contact us for the past few years? Is there anything I can help you with?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle shook his head. His eyes darkened as he said, ¡°No. I said previously that I was busy traveling for work. After that, I made some money, but of course, it¡¯s not as much as what you made, Little Feng.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s expression was calm, but he was worried inwardly. He asked, ¡°Is the company okay? Second Uncle, what business do you do?¡±


    Jiang Feng did not want to be a competitor with his second uncle. His second was very good to him and his family, after all. However, if they were in the same industry, there was no way to avoid competition.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle sighed. There was no way to hide it anymore. He said, ¡°The company isn¡¯t there anymore. My ability isn¡¯t good so it was best to give up on the company. I¡¯m no longer in the real estate business. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s situation is like anymore. A lot of people looked for me before, but now that the glory is gone, everyone has left. I would¡¯ve had a lonely life if I didn¡¯t visit you and your family today. In any case, I¡¯m still okay. I¡¯m already old, and there¡¯s nothing much I can do. I¡¯m already satisfied with the glory from my early years. Now, I just want to spend my old age peacefully like your parents.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay, Second Uncle. With me around, you don¡¯t have to do anything. I still remember that in the past, you used to buy me and Little Yu many things, and you also helped my family a lot. You don¡¯t have children of your own. So don¡¯t leave. We¡¯re a family. You can enjoy your life now,¡± Jiang Feng said.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was incredibly moved. ¡°Little Feng, I¡¯m really lucky to have a nephew like you.¡±


    Following that, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle began to cough violently.


    Everyone gathered around him anxiously.


    ¡°Second Uncle, what¡¯s wrong with you? Do you have a cold?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle removed his hand that was covering his mouth and was about to speak when his body trembled. He saw the blood on his hand.


    Jiang Jianzhong was shocked. He said urgently, ¡°Little Feng, call the doctor now!¡±


    Jiang Feng was stopped by his second uncle. His second uncle shook his head and said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s an old problem. I¡¯m already old and won¡¯t be able to live much longer. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡±


    ¡°How can that be? Now that Little Feng has made money, how can you just leave?!¡± Yu Xiumei said anxiously before she looked at Jiang Feng pleadingly.


    Little Yu looked like she was about to cry as she said to Jiang Feng, ¡°Brother, Second Uncle can¡¯t die! We just reunited with Second Uncle. I still want to be with Second Uncle!¡±


    Jiang Feng patted Little Yu¡¯s head. He let go of his second uncle¡¯s hand before he went outside to call the doctor. When he returned, he said reassuringly, ¡°Second Uncle, I¡¯ll definitely save you! Little Yu, don¡¯t cry. Second Uncle will live well!¡±


    ¡°Little Feng, I¡¯m fine. All of you are too anxious,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said. After regaining his composure, he took a bottle of pills out and took two pills.


    ¡­


    When the doctor arrived and did a check-up, he frowned.


    Jiang Jianzhong asked anxiously, ¡°Doctor, how is it?¡±


    Yu Xiumei chimed in, ¡°The cost doesn¡¯t matter as long as we can cure him!¡±


    The doctor said solemnly, ¡°He has some problems in the gastrointestinal tract that require long-term treatment. You can¡¯t stress yourself out. You have to rest well and pay attention to your diet. You have to take care of what you eat for your intestinal tract.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded, sighing in relief. ¡°Okay. Thank you, doctor.¡±


    Fortunately, his Second Uncle did not suffer from any terminal disease. Otherwise, no matter how much money he had, it would still be useless. He really wanted to show filial piety to his second uncle so he definitely could lose his second uncle.


    Jiang Jianzhong said worriedly, ¡°Second Brother, you have to rest well. Don¡¯t stress yourself out anymore.¡±


    Yu Xiumei looked at her brother-in-law worriedly and chimed in, ¡°You almost frightened me to death today. You should stay in the room near ours so we can keep an eye on you if anything happens.¡±

 Chapter 63 - They Were Waiting For Him

    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle scratched his head, feeling embarrassed about being treated like a child. ¡°Sister-in-law, you¡¯re worrying too much.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong said after a moment, ¡°It¡¯s fine. Let Second Brother do what he wants.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle nodded. He felt incomparably warm in his heart.


    Seeing that it was getting late and considering his second uncle¡¯s condition, Jiang Feng said, ¡°Alright, why don¡¯t we go back now? Little Yu¡¯s treatment is done as well. Let¡¯s go, Second Uncle.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong nodded. ¡°Let¡¯s go, Second Brother.¡±


    Little Yu was very cheerful. ¡°Okay! I¡¯ve grown sick of the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. Let¡¯s go home!¡±


    Jiang Feng pushed Little Yu on the wheelchair as the family walked out of the hospital, laughing and chatting.


    Seeing the Jiang family, Bai Yuan and the other relatives, who had been waiting at the entrance, hurriedly came over and smiled warmly.


    ¡°Brother, Sister-in-law, do you need any help?¡± Bai Yuan asked.


    The group of relatives, including the middle-aged woman who caused a commotion earlier, came up one after another as well.


    Jiang Feng sneered. ¡®They¡¯re really relentless.¡¯


    Jiang Jianzhong feigned ignorance. He smiled foolishly as he said to chase them away, ¡°We¡¯re going home. It¡¯s getting late. You all should go home as well. If there¡¯s anything else, we¡¯ll talk about it another time.¡±


    Bai Yuan pretended to be stupid as though he did not understand Jiang Jianzhong¡¯s meaning. ¡°Brother, Sister-in-law, I¡¯ll come with you. I really want to know how all of you are doing. I was worried when I found out you¡¯ve all moved.¡±


    With this, the other relatives also became noisy.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. We want to visit. We¡¯ll only feel relieved once we see you¡¯re okay.¡±


    ¡°Brother, Sister-in-law, don¡¯t worry. Don¡¯t feel embarrassed as well. If your living conditions aren¡¯t good, we¡¯ll definitely help if we can.¡±


    ¡°I have money with me. If there¡¯s any furniture you¡¯re lacking, let me help you get it. We¡¯ll visit to take a look.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Yu Xiumei did not know how to respond. She could only look at Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Jianzhong did not know what to do as well, and he also looked at Jiang Feng.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, ¡°Why are all of you so anxious? It¡¯s the same if you visit another time.¡±


    An idea appeared in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind. Hence, he shook his head and said, ¡°No. They can come today. Follow our car.¡±


    ¡°Little Feng is the most sensible. He knows what we¡¯re thinking. No wonder you¡¯re my favorite nephew.¡±


    ¡°Little Feng, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. I¡¯ll definitely help you with all I have.¡±


    ¡°Little Feng has grown up into a good man. However, even when he was young, he had always been sensible. Little Feng, Uncle believe you have a bright future in front of you.¡±


    Jiang Feng continued to push Little Yu as those relatives chatted noisily around him. He only had some peace and quiet after getting into the car. There were only five of them in the car, and those relatives had driven their own casr.


    Yu Xiumei said worriedly, ¡°Little Feng, they probably won¡¯t leave you alone after seeing the house. I won¡¯t put it past them to stay there shamelessly. Will this¡­¡±


    ¡°Mon, don¡¯t worry. Let them have a look. However, I won¡¯t help them,¡± Jiang Feng said confidently.


    Seeing Jiang Feng¡¯s confidence, the others who wanted to persuade him also swallowed their reminders back into their stomachs. They wondered what Jiang Feng was planning to do.


    ¡­


    When they arrived at the villa, those relatives¡¯ eyes lit up immediately. They thought about what they would be able to obtain soon.


    ¡°Old Jiang, I didn¡¯t expect all of you to be living in such a place. How much did you buy it for? It¡¯s really not bad!¡±


    ¡°Old Jiang, you¡¯re really stingy! You live in such a nice place, and yet, you didn¡¯t invite us over for a visit. We thought you weren¡¯t living well. How can all of you not say a word about this?¡±


    The relatives were green with envy. They could not help but touch the walls and pillars.


    Bai Yuan pretended to be happy for the Jiang family. He said with a smile, ¡°Brother, Sister-in-law, you¡¯re really blessed. You¡¯ve worked so hard for most of your lives. You can finally live in such a beautiful home now¡­ I worked hard my entire life, but I still can¡¯t live in a beautiful house. My child has grown up, but it¡¯s a pity that he¡¯s not as outstanding as Little Feng. On the contrary, he¡¯s still asking me for money.¡± He continued to say, ¡°All he knows is to live off his elders. I really envy both of you. If only I can live here to experience what it¡¯s like¡­¡±


    Bai Yuan¡¯s meaning was very clear. He wanted to live in the villa as well.


    Jiang Feng smiled faintly. ¡°Only my parents, Little Yu, and Second Uncle can live here. None of you can live here. Moreover, if Second Uncle prefers it, I¡¯ll get him another villa like this.¡±


    ¡°Little Feng! How can you say such words? What right do you have? We¡¯ve helped your family in the past as well! What¡¯s wrong if we just stay in one of the rooms?¡± Bai Yuan said with a scoff, unwilling to give up.


    The other relatives grumbled as well.


    ¡°Is your second uncle your only relative? We¡¯re also your relatives? How can you allow your second uncle to stay but prohibit us from doing so? How can the treatment be so different? Are we nothing compared to your second uncle?¡±


    ¡°Little Feng, you¡¯re really terrible. How can you be so ungrateful? How much did we help your family when you were young?¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at them, completely unmoved by their words. He said lazily, ¡°You can leave now. As I said, only Second Uncle can stay here.¡±


    ¡°You! You! Little Feng, how did you become like this?! How can you talk to your elders like that? Old Jiang, you have to educate Little Feng! Otherwise, he¡¯ll become worst in the future,¡± Bai Yuan said angrily, embarrassed.


    Needless to say, the other relatives were the same.


    ¡°That¡¯s right! How dare you talk to your elders like that? You have no manners! How can you be so disrespectful?¡±


    ¡°Little Feng, how did you become like this? Previously, Aunty thought you were sensible and obedient. I didn¡¯t expect you to be so rude to your elders now.¡±


    ¡°Who did you learn this from? Old Jiang, if you don¡¯t discipline him now, you¡¯ll suffer in the future. He¡¯s going to treat you like how he treats us now in the future!¡±


    Jiang Feng was still unmoved. He said expressionlessly, ¡°Are you done talking? If you¡¯re done, you can leave now. You¡¯ve already seen what you came to see.¡± After a beat, he added, ¡°As for living here, you can only keep dreaming about it. If you insist on forcing your way in, I won¡¯t hesitate to call the police. Breaking and entering is illegal.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s words at the end made Bai Yuan and the others deflate. They did not dare to say much and did not dare to stay any longer. All of them could only leave resentfully.


    ¡°We¡¯re all relatives. Is there a need to call the police? If you want us to leave, then we¡¯ll just leave. Old Jiang, we¡¯ll visit you another time!¡±


    ¡°Old Jiang, your Little Feng is really stingy! Go, I¡¯ll go now!¡±


    ¡°Old Jiang, you have to speak to Little Feng. He can¡¯t treat guests like this.¡±


    After everyone left, Jiang Feng said, ¡°Mom, Dad, Second Uncle, Little Yu, let¡¯s go rest. When you feel better, bring Second Aunt here. I don¡¯t feel at ease if you¡¯re alone.¡±


    Then, Jiang Feng yawned and returned to his room.


    The remaining four people looked at each other. They also felt tired so they all returned to their room to rest.

 Chapter 64 - Asking for Money

    Outside the villa.


    Bai Yuan clenched his hands. His heart was brimming with hatred.


    ¡®I don¡¯t believe that when I come back tomorrow, I won¡¯t be able to pry money from them! Let¡¯s see what that brat can do! He¡¯s just putting on an act. That family is only filled with cowards!¡¯


    ¡­


    The next day.


    Jiang Feng got up early. When he went downstairs, he saw his second uncle and Bai Yuan chatting with smiles on their faces.


    Bai Yuan smiled warmly when he saw Jiang Feng. ¡°Little Feng, you¡¯re awake? Why don¡¯t you sleep in during the holidays?¡±


    Although Bai Yuan found Jiang Feng annoying, seeing that Jiang Feng controlled the family¡¯s finances, he still had to be pleasant to Jiang Feng.


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to sleep in,¡± Jiang Feng said, clearly displeased. He did not want to talk to Bai Yuan at all. After getting himself a glass of water, he planned to return to his room to rest.


    At this time, Yu Xiumei saw Jiang Feng. She said, ¡°Little Feng, your Uncle Bai Yuan is here. You just came down. Why are you going upstairs again?¡±


    Seeing this, Bai Yuan wore a very understanding expression as he said, ¡°Sister-in-law, Little Feng probably has a lot of things to do. Let him be. We can chat among ourselves.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong shook his head and said seriously, ¡°Little Feng, come and have a seat. Your relative is here. How can you not greet him?¡±


    Jiang Feng said lazily with a hint of ridicule, ¡°Uncle Bai Yuan.¡±


    Bai Yuan felt slightly uncomfortable hearing this.


    On the contrary, Jiang Feng looked very relaxed.


    Bai Yuan suppressed his anger and smiled. ¡°Time really flies. In just a blink of an eye, we¡¯re all old, and the children have all grown up.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle raised his hand and made a gesture as he said, ¡°That¡¯s right. The first time I saw Little Feng, he was only this big¡­¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right. I still remember that when I gave candy to Little Feng, he would give it to his sister. He has always been very sensible,¡± Bai Yuan chimed as many thoughts flashed in his mind.


    Thinking of the past, Yu Xiumei sighed emotionally. She said with a smile, ¡°In the past, Little Feng would give Little Yu all the good things he had. We were all very happy.¡±


    The past was bitter, but Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei had a pair of obedient and sensible children. Now that the days were better, their children, who had grown up, were also filial.


    ¡°All these years, I was always and missed out on watching the children grow up. However, Little Feng did not forget me and even prepared many things for me,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with an honest smile on his face. He was very happy when he recalled the things that Jiang Feng said to him yesterday. In fact, he did not want anything in return. He was just very happy that Jiang Feng still remembered him.


    Seeing that the time was almost right, Bai Yuan began to put his plan into action. He asked, ¡°I heard Little Feng didn¡¯t lose money. Then, did he make money? It¡¯s risky to invest in Bitcoin. Moreover, he must have invested all ten million, right? Otherwise, how could he have bought such a large house?¡±


    Jiang Feng drank his water. He had already seen through Bai Yuan¡¯s thoughts. He asked bluntly, ¡°Uncle Bai Yuan, what are you trying to say?¡±


    Bai Yuan did not expect Jiang Feng to say such words. He was slightly stunned. Although Jiang Feng was young, he was quite shrewd. If it were not for Jiang Feng¡¯s Moments on WeChat, he would have nearly let a big fish go. He did not expect that the simple-minded Jiang family would even learn how to conceal their wealth.


    Yu Xiumei did not hear the hidden meaning behind Bai Yuan¡¯s words. She said with a hint of reproach, ¡°Child, your Uncle Bai Yuan is just concerned. What are you saying to him?¡± Then, she looked at Bai Yuan and said, ¡°Don¡¯t mind him. He didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡±


    Bai Yuan waved his hand. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. If you don¡¯t want to say it, then don¡¯t say it. I¡¯m just afraid that if you spend so much money on the house, you¡¯ll have no money to spare¡­¡±


    Jiang Feng was amused when he listened to Bai Yuan¡¯s words of ¡®concern¡¯. He thought that Bai Yuan was deserving of an Oscar for his acting. It was not enough to visit yesterday, and Bai Yuan visited again today. It seemed like Bai Yuan would not stop until he obtained some money. He could not help but wonder how Bai Yuan was going to try to obtain money from him since Bai Yuan could not use the excuse of borrowing money.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Little Feng is really capable. Moreover, this house didn¡¯t cost much. Ten million is enough for us to live the rest of our lives without worries,¡± Jiang Jianzhong said with a chuckle, unwilling to reveal their wealth.


    Jiang Jianzhong was not that foolish. If he revealed their wealth, his relatives would not leave them alone. There would definitely be many among them who would try to morally kidnap them. The middle-aged woman from yesterday was such an example. She wanted to borrow five million, but she likely had no intention of returning it at all. There were really too many people who asked for too much. He had to be smart since he did not want to drag his son down.


    Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow, puzzled. Jiang Jianzhong was usually honest and simple, but it seemed like Jiang Jianzhong had learned how to be smart as well. However, it did not matter. He had many ways to pry money from this family.


    Bai Yuan looked at Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei, pretending to be worried as he said, ¡°That¡¯s good. It¡¯s good that both of you are in good health. After all, it costs an arm and a leg nowadays to get treated at the hospital. Both of you have to look after your health.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong was stunned before he nodded. Thinking that Bai Yuan¡¯s words made sense, he looked at Yu Xiumei and said, ¡°Bai Yuan is right. I¡¯ll have to look for a job soon.¡±


    Bai Yuan pretended to be surprised. ¡°Why are you looking for a job? Old Jiang, Sister-in-law, you¡¯re getting old. Little Feng is grown up now. Leave the job of earning money to him. You should take care of your health instead.¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s right, Mom and Dad. Just relax. Don¡¯t worry about money.¡±


    Seeing the opportunity, Bai Yuan sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s really not easy to make money. Many people work very hard, but they have a low salary. I think Little Feng won¡¯t be able to make another ten million even if given a few dozen years. Lightning never strikes twice in the same place, after all. It¡¯s difficult for Little Feng to get so lucky again.¡± After a pause, he added, ¡°In fact, I have a perfect idea. A friend of mine is starting a business recently. In the future, it¡¯ll earn at least tens of thousands of dollars. The more money we invest, the bigger our profits will be.¡±


    Jiang Feng was amused. Bai Yuan had said so much, and Bai Yuan was finally coming to the main point. It was obvious Bai Yuan wanted to trick his parents into investing the money. After that, Bai Yuan would definitely run away with the money.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said skeptically, ¡°Is it reliable? Bai Yuan, there aren¡¯t so many good things in the world. Don¡¯t be deceived.¡±


    Bai Yuan quickly shook his head. ¡°No, I just made a lot of money myself. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have said anything now. If it weren¡¯t for our good relationship, I wouldn¡¯t have said anything. This is a golden opportunity.¡±


    Jiang Jianzheng looked uncertain as he looked at Jiang Feng. ¡°This¡­ This is up to Little Feng. My wife and I are old so we no longer care about matters of making money.¡±


    Bai Yuan patted his chest confidently as he said, ¡°Little Feng, you don¡¯t want to be in a situation where you don¡¯t have enough money, right? Trust Uncle Bai Yuan! I¡¯ll definitely help you make a lot of money!¡±


    Jiang Feng tilted his head and said lazily, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. My family won¡¯t be in that kind of situation.¡±

 Chapter 65 - A Date at the Night Market

    ¡°How¡¯s that possible? Little Feng, ten million isn¡¯t a lot. Don¡¯t get carried away. Moreover, you bought two houses so you probably don¡¯t have much money left, right?¡± Bai Yuan said with a forced smile, flustered and exasperated.


    Jiang Feng said unhurriedly, ¡°Uncle Bai Yuan, don¡¯t worry. Ten million indeed isn¡¯t a lot. I¡¯ll definitely work to earn more. You don¡¯t have to worry about these things. By the way, is there anything else? It¡¯s almost noon, and we didn¡¯t prepare enough food.¡±


    Bai Yuan was unwilling to give up. He said, ¡°Little Feng, I¡¯m just reminding you. Why don¡¯t you try investing 10,000 or 20,000 yuan first? It won¡¯t be much of a loss.¡±


    ¡°I have a better way of earning money. Since this is such a good opportunity, Uncle Bai Yuan, you can invest more of your own money. Perhaps, you¡¯ll earn tens of millions,¡± Jiang Feng said with a faint smile.


    ¡°How could it be easy to earn millions? Little Feng, you¡¯re still too naive,¡± Bai Yuan said, still trying to persuade Jiang Feng.


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed not easy to earn so much money. Hence, you should work harder. Don¡¯t have to worry about my family,¡± Jiang Feng said without hesitation.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Bai Yuan¡¯s expression was rather unsightly at the moment. Then, he said to Jiang Jianzhong, ¡°Old Jiang, you can¡¯t let Little Feng control all the finances. He¡¯s still too young. Why don¡¯t you invest some money?¡±


    At this time, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle chimed in, ¡°Little Feng is very farsighted. Bai Yuan, you don¡¯t need to worry about him. Apart from that, I think you should be careful as well lest you get cheated.¡±


    Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei nodded in agreement.


    ¡°Second Brother is right. Bai Yuan, you don¡¯t have to worry about Little Feng.¡±


    Bai Yuan was at a loss seeing the four people¡¯s solidarity. In the end, he could only say unwillingly, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll visit another day.¡±


    Jiang Feng sneered as he watched Bai Yuan leave. In fact, from the very beginning, he had been incredibly unhappy with his so-called relatives. However, for the sake of his parents, he did not sever ties with them. After all, his parents had a more traditional view and somewhat valued these relatives.


    However, after that incident, his parents had also seen their true colors. He was very satisfied with this. Previously, he had been worried his parents would be deceived, and he knew he could not ask his parents to sever ties directly.


    In fact, he did not care about the money. If they were good, he definitely would not mind helping them out. However, with their attitude, it was good enough that all he did was ask them to leave.


    ¡­


    After dealing with his relatives, Jiang Feng turned his attention to the company instead. He needed more reliable people in the company, and the best candidate now for him was Lin Miaoxue. However, he still had to ask for her opinion. Just when he was about to contact her, he received a message from her.


    Lin Miaoxue: Are you free tonight? I have something to tell you.


    ¡­


    On the other side, Lin Miaoxue had mustered up her courage before sending Jiang Feng a message. She still felt conflicted and troubled. If she told Jiang Feng about Luo Yuchang, she would add to Jiang Feng¡¯s worries. Moreover, it would be difficult for Jiang Feng to come up with countermeasures even if Jiang Feng knew Luo Yuchang was targeting him. Just as she was about to withdraw her message, she received a reply from Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng: Yes. I have something to speak to you about as well.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s message caused Lin Miaoxue¡¯s heart to overflow with happiness. At this moment, she completely pushed Luo Yuchang out of her mind. In any case, she would think about this when they met later.


    Lin Miaoxue: There¡¯s a new night market. I heard there are fireworks displays as well. Do you want to go? We can walk around and talk at the same time.


    Lin Miaoxue felt that she was saying too much so she deleted the last two sentences before sending the message.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng smiled after reading Lin Miaoxue¡¯s message. His mood improved greatly.


    Jiang Feng: I want to go. However, it¡¯ll be depressing since there¡¯ll likely be many couples there.


    ¡­


    Lin Miaoxue thought for a moment, unsure of how to reply. At this moment, Jiang Feng¡¯s message came again.


    Jiang Feng: Miss Lin, will you accompany this poor single person?


    Lin Miaoxue was very happy. This message made it easier for her to reply.


    Lin Miaoxue: Alright. I¡¯ll reluctantly accompany you.


    Jiang Feng: I¡¯ll pick you up tonight.


    Lin Miaoxue grinned. She covered her face when she thought about Jiang Feng¡¯s handsome appearance.


    ¡®Why am I always thinking about him? I can¡¯t get rid of him at all!¡¯


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng was delighted. Everything happened at the right time and in the right place with the right people.He could not wait to see Lin Miaoxue tonight so he would know what she was thinking.


    ¡­


    When it was almost time, Jiang Feng changed his clothes.


    ¡°Second Uncle, I¡¯m going out. I have something to do.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle nodded. ¡°Go, go. I¡¯ll accompany your parents to chat.¡±


    Jiang Feng called for a cab instead of driving. There would be many people at the night market and driving his Pagani would attract too much attention.


    ¡­


    Lin Miaoxue was dressed very simply this time. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail and she was dressed in simple sportswear. The outfit was very ordinary, but it revealed her curves. Coupled with her light makeup, she looked pure and beautiful.


    ¡®She looks different from usual, but she¡¯s still beautiful,¡¯ Jiang Feng praised inwardly when he saw her.


    When one was beautiful, no matter how one was dressed, one would still look beautiful.


    ¡°You look different today,¡± Jiang Feng said.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She wondered if he meant that she did not look as good as usual. However, she maintained her composure and asked, ¡°What? Don¡¯t I look good today?¡±


    Jiang Feng replied honestly, ¡°It¡¯s not that. You look good, but it¡¯s a different kind of beauty.¡±


    Lin Miaoxu¡¯s mood soared again. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because of the way I dressed and makeup.¡± Then, she hurriedly changed the topic and said, ¡°We¡¯re quite close to the night market. Should we just walk there?¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°It¡¯s up to you.¡±


    The duo did not speak as they walked.


    Lin Miaoxue thought about her main purpose of asking Jiang Feng out and felt troubled again.


    Jiang Feng did not know what to say at this moment. Seeing that Lin Miaoxue was lost in her thoughts, he could not bear to disturb her. In the end, he gave up on talking as well.


    The moon shone on the duo silently.


    At this time, Lin Miaoxu finally made up her mind. She came to an abrupt stop, causing Jiang Feng who was walking behind her to almost bump into her.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Feng asked worriedly. He could vaguely sense that Lin Miaoxue had something to say.


    At this moment, a teenager on a skateboard came over unsteadily. He was clear that he could not stop as he cried out, ¡°Ah! Help! Help!¡±


    Seeing that the teenager was about to crash into her, Lin Miaoxue froze, rooted to the spot.


    At the critical moment, Jiang Feng pulled Lin Miaoxue to the side. Then, he grabbed the teenager and kicked the skateboard to the side.


    The teenager fell on Jiang Feng¡¯s foot, but he only had a slight scratch.


    ¡°Jiang Feng!¡± Lin Miaoxue exclaimed when she finally reacted.


    The teenager panicked and quickly rose to his feet. He bowed and apologized profusely, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry. I wanted to practice skateboarding, but I didn¡¯t expect this to happen!¡±


    Jiang Feng thought about Little Yu when he saw the teenager. He patted the teenager¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright. Be careful.¡±


    If he showed a little kindness to the world, perhaps, the world would show a little kindness to his sister as well.


    ¡°Thank you, Brother,¡± the teenager said. Then, he looked at Lin Miaoxue and asked, ¡°Sister, are you hurt? If not, I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue shook her head. When she saw the scratch on the teenager¡¯s arm she said, ¡°I¡¯m fine. You scratched yourself. Remember to treat it.¡±


    The teenager sighed in relief. He carried his skateboard before he said, ¡°Okay. Thank you, Sister.¡±


    Lin Miaoxu sighed. ¡°I was really shocked earlier. Fortunately, nothing happened.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine,¡± Jiang Feng said. Then, he recalled Lin Miaoxue¡¯s earlier reaction so he asked, ¡°Did you want to tell me something earlier?¡±


    ¡°No¡­ No¡­¡± Lin Miaoxue waved her hand. She felt that she was really fickle. Just when she thought she had made up her mind, she decided to think about it again. This matter was not a small matter after all. Luo Yuchang likely would not make a move immediately so she still had time.


    Jiang Feng did not think too much about it. Instead, he said seriously, ¡°I wanted to speak to you because I want to invite you to join my company.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was stunned. She wondered if she had heard wrongly. ¡®Did he ask me to join his company?¡¯


    ¡°Although Cinda isn¡¯t as big as Kerry, I believe that Kerry will only continue to grow¡­¡¯

 Chapter 66 - Oh, You’re Talking About Luo

    Lin Miaoxue fell silent. Although she had resigned from Kerry Financial Company, she had yet to think about her next step. She was at a loss with this invitation that came out of the blue.


    Seeing this, Jiang Feng said, ¡°It¡¯s okay. Take your time to think about it. Let¡¯s go. The fireworks are starting soon¡­¡±


    The duo chatted as they walked. When they arrived, the fireworks were already exploding in the sky.


    Lin Miaoxue and Jiang Feng looked at the fireworks in the sky. The lights were reflected in their eyes, and it felt as though their hearts were connected at this moment.


    ¡°Jiang Feng, it¡¯d be great if we can do this every day,¡± Lin Miaoxue said. She turned to look at Jiang Feng, looking playful and cute.


    ¡°If you want, I can accompany you to watch fireworks every day,¡± Jiang Feng replied with a slight smile.


    Lin Miaoxu blushed and quickly lowered her head. She said softly, ¡°Okay.¡±


    The fireworks were too loud so Jiang Feng did not hear her. He leaned closer to her and asked, ¡°What did you say?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue coughed and stammered, ¡°It¡¯s, it¡¯s nothing¡­¡±


    Seeing Lin Miaoxue like that, Jiang Feng thought she was very cute. However, he did not continue to ask.


    ¡­


    The duo had a good time together.


    When they were approaching Lin Miaoxue¡¯s house, Lin Miaoxue said with a smile, ¡°I had a very good time today. It¡¯s been a long time since I went to a night market. So many things have changed.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m glad you had a good time,¡± Jiang Feng said with an affectionate gaze.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Lin Miaoxue hesitated as Luo Yuchang appeared in her mind.


    ¡°Take your time to think before you speak. I¡¯m not in a hurry. Alright, go and rest,¡± Jiang Feng said reassuringly.


    Lin Miaoxue nodded before she turned to leave. She felt warm in her heart. Perhaps, that was why she suddenly made up her mind at this moment.


    Jiang Feng treated her very well. She could not let him be hurt. She could not just watch as Luo Yuchang schemed against him. Moreover, Jiang Feng finally succeeded. She had to help him no matter what.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng was about to leave as well. However, he had only taken a few steps when he heard Lin Miaoxue calling out to him anxiously.


    ¡°Jiang Feng!¡±


    Jiang Feng turned around. He asked in confusion, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you hurt yourself?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue quickly moved to stand in front of Jiang Feng. She took a deep breath before she said solemnly, ¡°Jiang Feng, someone is going to target you.¡±


    She felt very anxious at this moment. What if Jiang Feng asked for details? It was already the limit for her to tell him that someone was going to target him. She could not name the person.


    Jiang Feng smiled. ¡°Oh. You¡¯re talking about Luo Yuchang, right?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was stunned. ¡°Ah?¡±


    ¡®Jiang Feng knows about it? I thought only those in the company knew about it! As expected of a genius! He even knows who¡¯s going to target him. Who would be able to touch him in the future? Saying that, Luo Yuchang isn¡¯t simple. Can Jiang Feng really deal with Luo Yuchang?¡¯


    ¡°I know. Thank you,¡± Jiang Feng said again with a smile.


    ¡°How did you know? I didn¡¯t even mention Luo Yuchang or say anything else,¡± Lin Miaoxue asked curiously.


    Kerry Financial Company was a huge company, and the company¡¯s secrets were tightly kept under the lid. She did not understand how Jiang Feng knew about it. She had just resigned not long ago, but he had already found out about it. This was beyond her expectations.


    ¡°The business world is like a battlefield. It¡¯s not difficult to guess. If I can¡¯t even figure this out, how am I going to protect and grow my company?¡± Jiang Feng said solemnly.


    Lin Miaoxue said, ¡°As expected of the top student of our department. Jiang Feng, you¡¯re suited to this industry. I¡¯m completely convinced of your ability.¡±


    Jiang Feng shook his head and said modestly, ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡±


    ¡°However, Luo Yuchang really isn¡¯t easy to deal with. I used to work for him. Although I didn¡¯t have much direct contact with him, after attending a meeting with him, I could see his true colors,¡± Lin Miaoxue said worriedly. She thought about her confrontation with Luo Yuchang and said angrily, ¡°He¡¯s sinister and has done a lot of immoral things! Even animals are more sincere than him!¡±


    Jiang Feng was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Used to work for him? Did you resign?¡±


    If Lin Miaoxue resigned, did it not mean that there was a higher chance of her joining his company? He was in need of talented people, and she was exactly what he needed now.


    Seeing that Jiang Feng was focused on this point instead of Luo Yuchang, Lin Miaoxue nodded in confusion. ¡°That¡¯s right. What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    At the same time, she thought to herself, ¡®Isn¡¯t he worried? Is he unaware of the kind of person Luo Yuchang is? Although he¡¯s the owner of Cinda, Cinda is still a small company. It¡¯s not in the same league as Kerry. Is it okay for him to be like this? If something happens, it¡¯ll be bad.¡¯


    Jiang Feng could not help but smile. He said, ¡°That¡¯s good. Join my company!¡±


    ¡°Ah?¡± Lin Miaoxue was stunned again when Jiang Feng asked her to join his company. It seemed like Jiang Feng did not care about Luo Yuchang at all and cared more about her joining his company.


    ¡®Why doesn¡¯t he care about Luo Yuchang? Luo Yuchang really isn¡¯t easy to deal with. Isn¡¯t Jiang Feng taking this too lightly?;


    Lin Miaoxue said anxiously, ¡°This isn¡¯t important now. Luo Yuchang isn¡¯t simple. He resorted to many dirty tricks to acquire companies. He had even cornered a person to the point where the person jumped off a building!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue lowered her head, feeling ashamed. She said with a sigh, ¡°Jiang Feng, I couldn¡¯t betray my ethics so I resigned. However, I can¡¯t do anything to help you.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. You don¡¯t have to help me. If you want to help me, the best way to do so is by joining my company,¡± Jiang Feng said slowly, ¡°Luo Yuchang isn¡¯t a threat to me. I plan to acquire his company.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was shocked by Jiang Feng¡¯s indifference and plan.


    ¡®He¡¯s not worried about Luo Yuchang? Not only that, but he wants to acquire Kerry? Kerry is a top investment company! Although he¡¯s a genius, it¡¯s a bit too much for him to buy Kerry now, right? What is he thinking?¡¯


    Lin Miaoxue stared at Jiang Feng. ¡°You¡­ Jiang Feng, are you serious?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve already made up my mind. Anyway, that¡¯s not important now,¡± Jiang Feng said. He cleared his throat before he continued to say, ¡°How about joining my company? The treatment and salary definitely won¡¯t be inferior to what you received at Kerry. As the owner of Cinda, I sincerely invite you to join us.¡±


    As Jiang Feng spoke, he extended his hand toward her with an earnest expression on his face.


    Lin Miaoxue thought about it for a moment before she said, ¡°That¡­ I¡¯ll have to consider it¡­¡±


    She had just resigned from Kerry Financial Company not too long ago. Cinda Financial wanted to acquire Kerry Financial Company so she felt it was a little inappropriate for her to join Cinda Financial so quickly. Luo Yuchang¡¯s character aside, she would definitely be criticized if she joined Cinda Financial so quickly.

 Chapter 67 - I’ll Whip You Before Forcing You to Go

    ¡°You can take your time to think about it. I¡¯m not in a hurry. It¡¯s getting late. You should go back,¡± Jiang Feng said.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    After Lin Miaoxue went upstairs, Jiang Feng returned to the villa.


    ¡­


    It was already very late when Jiang Feng returned to the villa. His parents had gone to bed, but his second uncle and his sister were still chatting. The duo was laughing happily as they chatted.


    Jiang Feng moved to stand behind the couch silently, intending to scare them as he asked, ¡°Second Uncle, Little Yu, what are you guys talking about?¡±


    ¡°Ah! Brother, you¡¯re so mean! I was frightened out of my mind!¡± Little Yu said, pretending to be shocked. She was grinning ear to ear.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle chuckled. ¡°Little Yu is still so cute. She hasn¡¯t changed at all.¡±


    Little Yu giggled. ¡°If I change, you won¡¯t recognize me anymore. However, my brother has changed a lot. Are you shocked, Second Uncle?¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, stroking Little Yu¡¯s head.


    At this time, Jiang Feng, who was amused by Little Yu, saw his second uncle¡¯s phone lit up. He saw a picture of a teenage girl with two ponytails. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He asked curiously, ¡°Second Uncle, this is?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle looked shy as he said, ¡°This is my daughter. Your cousin sister.¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s her name? Is she with Aunty now?¡± Jiang Feng asked, looking at the girl carefully. She looked very clever.


    ¡°Her name is Jiang Shi. She¡¯s been smart since she was young. I¡¯ve lost count of how many times she tricked her brother,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle replied. He could not help smiling when talking about his daughter.


    ¡°Brother? You have a son as well?¡± Little Yu asked curiously.


    ¡°Yes. He¡¯s in his twenties. He¡¯s a year younger than Little Feng. He joined the army. He¡¯s disobedient and not as smart as Little Shi. His name is Jiang Chengyuan. It¡¯s been a while since I saw him,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a sigh. His eyes were filled with longing.


    ¡°Do you have a picture of him? I want to have a look, Second Uncle,¡± Little Yu said excitedly as her eyes lit up.


    ¡°I do. Wait, I¡¯ll look for it,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a smile as he looked for the photo on his phone.


    When Little Yu saw the photo of a somewhat handsome young man, she exclaimed, ¡°Brother, have a look! He¡¯s so handsome! He¡¯s even more handsome than you! I have two handsome brothers now!¡±


    Jiang Feng flicked Little Yu¡¯s forehead light, not knowing whether to laugh or cry when he saw her reaction. ¡°Why are you so excited?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was very happy. ¡°When your Brother Chengyuan returns, I¡¯ll tell him to take you out to play. That brat treats his little sister very well too¡­¡±


    Little Yu nodded. ¡°I want to meet Sister Shi as well. She seems easy to get along with.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll meet her soon. I¡¯ll bring your aunt and Little Shi over in two days. However, I¡¯m not completely certain yet. If Little Shi came as well, going to school will be very inconvenient,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, looking troubled.


    If it was possible, he did not want to trouble Jiang Feng. However, if they were to stay here, going to school would indeed be inconvenient for his daughter. He might even mess things up for his daughter.


    ¡°Second Uncle, don¡¯t be so polite with me. I¡¯ll take care of Little Shi¡¯s school as well. I¡¯ll accompany you to pick up Aunty and Little Shi,¡± Jiang Feng said tactfully.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle sighed emotionally. ¡°Little Feng, with you around, I feel much more at ease. Little Shi and Chengyuan are really lucky to have you as their cousin brother. Little Shi seems to be in the rebellious phase now, and your aunt is really worried about her.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s always like that when kids hit puberty. It¡¯ll be fine as time passes. Second Uncle, you should rest now. The doctor said you shouldn¡¯t stay up late,¡± Jiang Feng urged.


    ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯ll go to sleep,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, feelinghappy, ¡°Little Yu, Second Uncle will push you upstairs. Little Feng, you can go rest as well.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°It¡¯s about time for me to sleep as well. Let¡¯s pick up Aunty and Little Shi soon.¡±


    ¡­


    At the same time, Lin Miaoxue was lying on her bed, feeling conflicted again. Jiang Feng¡¯s earlier words completely occupied her mind at this moment.


    She wondered if she should join Jiang Feng¡¯s company or not. It was only logical for her to find a new job after she resigned. However, Cinda Financial was Kerry Financial Company¡¯s target. If her colleagues knew she joined Cinda Financial, they would likely think she betrayed Kerry Financial Company and spread the word about it. However, after thinking about it, she thought that even if she did not join Cinda Financial, those people would still likely gossip about her and find other things to criticize her about.


    She sighed when she recalled Yang Yiling¡¯s alienation from her. She understood Yang Yiling¡¯s actions, but if she were in Yang Yiling¡¯s shoes, she did not think she would be so heartless.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s expression grew solemn as she thought about Lin Xinyao¡¯s words. Lin Xinyao told her that she must seize the opportunity. She could not let this opportunity go.


    After a moment, she sent a message to Liu Xinyao.


    Lin Miaoxue: Sister Yao, Jiang Feng invited me to join his company. However, I feel conflicted. I want to join his company, but I feel like it¡¯s inappropriate.


    Liu Xinyao¡¯s reply was swift.


    Liu Xinyao: What¡¯s there to feel conflicted about? It¡¯s a good opportunity to snag yourself a wealthy husband! Go! If you don¡¯t go, I¡¯ll whip you and force you to go!


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s face turned red as she replied.


    Lin Miaoxue: You only know to tease me! I just quit my job at Kerry not long ago. Cinda is a company that Kerry plans to acquire.


    When Lin Miaoxue saw how fast Liu Xinyao was replying, she thought that Liu Xinyao had the potential to be a reporter.


    Liu Xinyao: What are you afraid of if you¡¯ve not done anything wrong? There¡¯s nothing inappropriate about it. If anyone dares to slander you, I won¡¯t let them go. Don¡¯t worry. Focus on marrying a rich husband!¡±


    Lin Miaoxue: I¡¯ll think about it again.


    After the conversation ended, Lin Miaoxue put her phone aside.


    Liu Xinyao was right. She had not done anything wrong and had always stuck to her principles. That aside, her treatment and salary would be better, and most importantly, her boss was a good person. Her future would definitely be limitless. Who would be unwilling under such circumstances?


    With someone as remarkable as Jiang Feng, she would definitely learn a lot from him if she joined his company. It was difficult to find someone as remarkable as him. There was no doubt it was beneficial for her to join his company.


    At this moment, her phone buzzed. She picked her phone up, confused.


    Liu Xinyao: What¡¯s there to think about? If you wait any longer, the chance will disappear! There are many female employees in the company. If you hesitate, he¡¯ll be snatched away!


    Upon reading this message, Lin Miaoxu felt a sense of crisis. Then, she made up her mind and sent a message to Jiang Feng.


    Lin Miaoxue: Jiang Feng, I want to visit your company first. Is that okay?¡±


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng was about to fall asleep when he was woken up by his phone. When he saw that it was a message from Lin Miaoxue, he quickly read it.


    When he read the content, he could not help but smile.


    Jiang Feng: Alright. I¡¯ll pick you up after I attend to some matters tomorrow.


    Lin Miaoxue: Okay.


    ¡­


    Lin Miaoxue fell asleep in a good mood now that she had made up her mind. She wanted to visit Cinda Financial. She had no idea what it looked like, and she was curious why Jiang Feng was so confident about acquiring Kerry Financial Company.

 Chapter 68 - Visiting the Company

    The next morning, Jiang Feng drove his Pagani to Lin Miaoxue¡¯s house.


    Lin Miaoxue tidied her clothing before she walked over.


    Jiang Feng opened the car door for her and she said politely, ¡°Thank you.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re welcome. There¡¯s no need to be polite. We¡¯re good friends after all,¡± Jiang Feng said after returning to the driver¡¯s seat.


    ¡­


    When they arrived at Cinda Financial, everyone was busy with their work. The sound of typing was very loud in the otherwise quiet office. Once in a while, some people would exchange a few words in low voices.


    It did not take long before they saw Jiang Feng, and when they saw Lin Miaoxue, their eyes shone even brighter than before.


    Lin Miaoxu applied light makeup today. Her hair was done, and she was dressed in her working clothes. She looked like a successful career woman. Although she looked aloof, a hint of gentleness could be seen when she faced Jiang Feng.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s beauty had stunned everyone. She was much more beautiful than the women they had seen on the Internet.


    ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re finally here! Is something big happening in the company?¡±


    One of the employees brought a chair over for Jiang Feng just like before. However, unlike before, there was an extra chair this time.


    All of them thought that Jiang Feng was truly amazing. Not only did he bring the company to new heights, but he even brought such a natural beauty who was pleasing to the eye to the company. There was no doubt in their mind that following Jiang Feng was the right choice. Perhaps, the beautiful woman was his future wife. In that case, would they not be able to see a beautiful woman every day?


    However, some of them felt Lin Miaoxue looked familiar.


    Finally, an employee¡¯s eyes widened as realization dawned on him. He was so shocked that he unknowingly exclaimed out loud, ¡°Isn¡¯t she an employee from Kerry? What¡¯s going on? Why is she here?¡±


    The employee, who had exclaimed out loud, covered his mouth, feeling regretful about his slip of tongue.


    The others were shocked and confused.


    As it turned out, the beauty was an employee of Kerry Financial Company. Not only was she beautiful, but she must be capable as well. However, they did not understand why she came to Cinda Financial. Compared to Kerry Financial Company, Cinda Financial was nothing. Was she going to join Cinda Financial? Was it not a waste of her talent to do so?


    Lin Miaoxu replied honestly, ¡°I was. I¡¯ve already resigned.¡±


    The employees were shocked again.


    ¡®Resigned? What kind of courage is this? Most people are eager to join Kerry, but she resigned? What kind of ability does she have?¡¯


    ¡®As expected of President Jiang. The people he recruits have to be amazing! If it weren¡¯t for President Jiang, I won¡¯t even be able to come close with all these talented people in my life!¡¯


    ¡®It¡¯ll be great if we can be colleagues with such a great beauty! How can someone be so beautiful? Moreover, she used to work at Kerry!¡¯


    At the same time, the male employees were jealous and envious as they looked at Lin Miaoxue. If only they were as capable and rich as him, they would not have to worry about finding a girlfriend like that. Not only that, but beautiful women would also come knocking on their doors. They simply dared not dream of becoming like him who stood at the top of the pyramid. He was simply the cream of the crop. Ordinary people like them could only have a meal with him at most.


    ¡°President Jiang, she must be your girlfriend, right? She¡¯s really beautiful. She¡¯s comparable to those popular female celebrities! Even the moon and flowers would feel ashamed when compared to her!¡¯


    Similarly, the female employees were envious and jealous as well. They all dreamed of being someone like Lin Miaoxue. Not only was she beautiful, but she also had a rich, capable, and handsome boyfriend. Who said handsome men liked ordinary women? It was clear they only liked beautiful women! The duo was like a made match in heaven. It was like something out of a romance novel.


    Upon hearing the word ¡®girlfriend¡¯, Lin Miaoxue cleared her throat awkwardly and said, ¡°No, we¡¯re just friends.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Jiang Feng said seriously.


    At the same time, Lin Miaoxu felt puzzled as she looked at the employees who gathered around Jiang Feng. Although he was the owner of Cinda Financial, it was still exaggerated that so many employees were gathered around him. She could not help but wonder what kind of ability Jiang Feng had to make his employees admire him so much.


    Even Luo Yuchang, her former boss, did not have so many admirers. Moreover, his ability was indisputable. Although he resorted to many dirty tricks, he had undoubtedly acquired many companies.


    On the contrary, Jiang Feng only acquired Cinda Financial not too long ago, but he was already so popular with his employees. It was truly strange.


    At the same time, upon hearing Lin Miaoxue and Jiang Feng¡¯s words, the employees became even more enthusiastic.


    ¡°Then, are you joining our company? What¡¯s your name? We¡¯ll be colleagues in the future!¡±


    ¡°Miss, we¡¯re all very easy to get along with! Don¡¯t worry. We¡¯re lively and talkative! You don¡¯t have to worry about having nothing to talk about!¡±


    ¡°Miss, do you want something to drink? Or some snacks, perhaps? We have coffee and tea. There are some biscuits as well. They¡¯re newly bought.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was slightly overwhelmed by the enthusiasm.


    Before she could respond, Jiang Feng said, ¡°She¡¯s here to visit the company. She¡¯s not an employee yet. Don¡¯t scare her.¡± After that, he added, ¡°Alright, return to your work. I¡¯ll take Miss Lin around. Thank you for your hard work.¡±


    Everyone felt reluctant when they saw Jiang Feng was about to leave.


    ¡°President Jiang, don¡¯t leave yet. Talk to us for a while more. I¡¯ve not seen you for a few days, and I¡¯ve missed you!¡±


    ¡°Me too! President Jiang, do we have big projects coming in? I¡¯m eager to try! I think I can handle it!¡±


    ¡°Me too! Me too! I¡¯ve improved a lot recently. I feel like I¡¯m capable enough to handle a lot of things now!¡±


    Jiang Feng felt helpless. He said calmly, ¡°I appreciate everyone¡¯s efforts. However, I have other things to do today. In regard to our company¡¯s future, I¡¯m still planning. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue became even more curious. The employees¡¯ behavior was too exaggerated. It was not like Jiang Feng was never coming back, but they were so reluctant to part with him. Was there a need to act like that? There was no benefit to it. She knew Jiang Feng quite well. He was not someone who would give special treatment to someone just because they were good at flattering. She really could not help but wonder why they were so enthusiastic and eager.


    For the employees to behave this way, there was no doubt that Jiang Feng must be very capable. With this thought in mind, her curiosity grew stronger. It seemed like Jiang Feng had many secrets that she did not know about.

 Chapter 69 - They Changed Their Expressions

    When Jiang Feng entered the office, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were also busy on the computers, looking serious and focused. They did not realize that Jiang Feng had entered the office at all.


    Seeing that the duo was so busy, Jiang Feng asked, concerned, ¡°How are both of you doing?¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong snapped back to their senses upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words. Then, the serious expressions on their faces vanished, replaced by smiles on their faces. However, it did not take long before they became nervous.


    ¡°President Jiang, I didn¡¯t hear you coming in! I¡¯m really sorry. Please don¡¯t be angry. I was wrong!¡± Zhang Qidong said as he hastily rose to his feet. Then, he brought his tea leaves and began to brew tea again.


    Song Yaozhong also reacted. He brought out his snacks with an attentive expression on his face as he said, ¡°I wasn¡¯t sure if the snacks previously suited your taste so I changed them. President Jiang, hurry up and try this. If it¡¯s delicious, you can bring it home.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue, who was standing at the side, sighed when she saw the duo¡¯s reaction. They changed their expressions faster than the time it took to flip through a book. She became even more curious and suspicious. She understood that Jiang Feng was a genius for being able to turn an unfavorable situation around so quickly. However, the duo¡¯s reaction was too exaggerated and enthusiastic; they were just like the employees outside. Why were they so happy that Jiang Feng was here? If it were any ordinary person, they would be praying inwardly for their bosses to leave as soon as possible. What exactly did Jiang Feng do to receive this kind of treatment?


    Zhang Qidong hurriedly pulled out a chair. He was both excited and worried as he said, ¡°President Jiang, take a seat. Why are you here today? It¡¯s a coincidence that I have something to tell you as well.¡±


    Zhang Qidong had investigated Luo Yuchang. However, the results were almost the same as what Jiang Feng had said. He had indeed fallen into Luo Yuchang¡¯s trap. After his investigation, he was rather shocked. He did not expect that Kerry Financial Company was hiding so many dirty secrets.


    Zhang Qidong could not help but worry. Was it really possible for them to acquire Kerry Financial Company? Let alone acquiring Kerry Financial Company, it would be difficult just competing with Kerry Financial Company. He wondered if Jiang Feng already had a plan.


    ¡°This is¡­¡± Song Yaozhong finally noticed Lin Miaoxue. He looked at her with a hint of curiosity and surprise. To think that there was such a natural and pure beauty in this world.


    ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Lin Miaoxue. I¡¯m here to visit the company,¡± Lin Miaoxue introduced herself briefly.


    Zhang Qidong looked at Lin Miaoxue warily before he said, ¡°President Jiang, the matter I need to speak to you about is confidential.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go out first and come back later,¡± Lin Miaoxue said tactfully. She was very self-aware.


    However, Jiang Feng stopped her and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. We¡¯re like family. Just say it.¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong looked at each other, slightly stunned. At the same time, they inwardly speculated about Jiang Feng and Lin Miaoxue¡¯s relationship. Jiang Feng had said they were like family. Who was Lin Miaoxue, and why did Jiang Feng give her such special treatment? In any case, since Jiang Feng had spoken, they had no objections.


    However, Lin Miaoxue still felt that it was inappropriate. She said, ¡°No, it¡¯s better that I¡­¡±


    Jiang Feng did not wait for her to finish speaking before he pulled her back. Then, he said to Zhang Qidong, ¡°It really doesn¡¯t matter. Tell me.¡±


    Zhang Qidong nodded. ¡°President Jiang, you were right. Luo Yuchang was targeting Cinda. The money he lent was also part of his trap.¡± He grew angrier as he said, ¡°I thought Luo Yuchang was really kind to lend me money. Who knew he was actually targeting Cinda? Fortunately, you managed to resolve the crisis, President Jiang. Otherwise, it¡¯d be over for me¡­¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was shocked by these words. She did not expect them to investigate this matter. It seemed like she had underestimated Cinda Financial. Or perhaps, she had underestimated Jiang Feng. Was it possible that Jiang Feng was not joking about acquiring Kerry Financial Company? However, how was it possible for an ant to devour an elephant? It was impossible. She really could not figure out how Jiang Feng was going to acquire Kerry Financial Company.


    Jiang Feng nodded before he asked solemnly, ¡°Where¡¯s the detailed report of the investigation?¡±


    Only by understanding everything about Kerry Financial Company could he achieve what he wanted. He had to find a way to break through.


    Zhang Qidong quickly clicked on a file on the laptop before he moved it in front of Jiang Feng so Jiang Feng could see it.


    ¡°The detailed information is here.¡±


    Jiang Feng looked at the screen.


    Zhang Qidong had made a PowerPoint presentation of the results of his investigation, and Song Yaozhong was in charge of explaining. The first slide was a comprehensive map of Kerry Financial Company.


    ¡°President Jiang, this is the scale of Luo Yuchang¡¯s company,¡± Song Yaozhong said.


    Kerry Financial Company was about the size of two basketball courts. There were many rooms on the floor.


    Zhang Qidong had meticulously marked the locations.


    Apart from Luo Yuchang¡¯s office, there were also the offices of his high-ranking employees. In comparison, a map of Cinda Financial was placed next to it. It was clear that the two were not comparable. Cinda Financial was not even half the size of Kerry Financial Company.


    ¡°President Jiang, as you can see, just in terms of size alone, Cinda is far behind Kerry. Do we really have the ability to compete with Kerry?¡± Zhang Qidong asked. He did not even dare to say the words ¡®acquire Kerry¡¯. Looking at the maps alone, he could not help but feel frightened and nervous despite trusting Jiang Feng. Although it was not the main factor, size also represented the strength and finances of a company.


    No matter how much Zhang Qidong trusted Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng was still ultimately very young, and his target was an established top investment company.


    Song Yaozhong could not help but persuade Jiang Feng. Just like Zhang Qidong, he was worried. ¡°President Jiang, perhaps, we should wait or forget about this idea? There¡¯s no precedent of a small company acquiring a huge company. We might go bankrupt trying to do such a thing.¡±


    Jiang Feng did not respond to those words. Instead, he said indifferently, ¡°Let¡¯s move on to the next slide.¡±


    The three people in the room were at a loss. They really could not figure out what Jiang Feng was thinking. He was too calm and unresponsive. This was not the reaction of an ordinary person. Was it really possible that he had a way to deal with Kerry Financial Company? However, Kerry Financial Company was not an ordinary or small company. It was impossible to take it down in one fell swoop. Nonetheless, since Jiang Feng had made his stance quite clear, they could only listen to him.


    Zhang Qidong moved on to the second slide that detailed Kerry Financial Company¡¯s business scope. Including investments, the scope was rather wide.


    ¡°President Jiang, please have a look at this. These businesses are very profitable. The profits are truly a lot. The company funds flow to many areas,¡± Zhang Qidong said with a sigh, feeling depressed again.


    With such a huge amount of money, Kerry Financial Company could buy more than a dozen Cinda Financial. They were extremely happy when they made several hundred million, but that amount of money was nothing to Kerry Financial Company.


    It felt like an overestimation of themselves just thinking about acquiring Kerry Financial Company.


    They wondered where Jiang Feng got his confidence from? He was young so it was possible that he was hot-blooded, but Cinda Financial was already an old company.

 Chapter 70 - Analyzing the Enemy

    Jiang Feng stroked his chin seeing Kerry Financial Company¡¯s profits. Indeed, the acquisition would be undoubtedly difficult as ascending to the heavens. However, he would not change his plan, especially after Lin Miaoxue¡¯s reminder. In the end, he said lightly, ¡°At this point, we can only continue forward. Luo Yuchang failed to acquire Cinda back then, but he has yet to give up. He won¡¯t give up. His target isn¡¯t just Cinda, but me as well.¡±


    Zhang Qidong suggested, ¡°President Jiang, why don¡¯t we switch from offense to defense?¡±


    Zhang Qidong really did not want to see Cinda fall into another crisis. After all, the probability of success was very low for the acquisition of Kerry Financial Company. Based on his experience and observation, he was inclined to say it was impossible. He wanted to dream big as well, but he was also realistic. They were already very lucky to make money from Pork Inc..


    Jiang Feng was very firm as he said, ¡°No, I¡¯ve already decided. I must acquire Kerry. Continue.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was shocked and perplexed. Why was Jiang Feng so confident? Did he have something or know someone? Although Jiang Feng was remarkable, she did not think it justified such confidence. After all, Luo Yuchang had been in the industry for a long time. His experience and methods were superior to those of Jiang Feng.


    Upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong exchanged a look. Their hands trembled as they continued with the presentation.


    The next slide detailed Luo Yuchang¡¯s style.


    ¡°He¡¯s quick, accurate, and ruthless. This is his way of doing things. I¡¯ve experienced it, after all. That¡¯s how he successfully dealt with small companies,¡± Zhang Qidong said nervously. He brought a handkerchief out and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.


    ¡°Kerry annexed Century Source, a company that was about the same level as his. Century Source was about to attack the internal market when Kerry suddenly intervened and forced Century Source to bankruptcy. The owner of Century Source could not accept this and jump out of his company¡¯s building. Not only did he leave his family behind, but he left a debt to his son as well. It¡¯s truly tragic,¡± Song Yaozhong, who was at the side, said. He could not help but feel chills running up his spine.


    Zhang Qidong had almost been pushed to the same state as the owner of Century Source previously. Who knew what would happen if Jiang Feng did not turn things around?


    With Jiang Feng¡¯s current plan, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were afraid of falling into the same situation again. At the same time, they lamented that Jiang Feng was too young and rash. Alas, they did not own Cinda Financial anymore. They did not have a say, but they were also unwilling to see Cinda Falling into dire straits again.


    A thought appeared in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind as he asked, ¡°What about Kerry¡¯s recent activities?¡±


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s expression turned serious as he said, ¡°I heard that Luo Yuchang is withdrawing his capitals. He had lost quite a lot of money after his failure to acquire Cinda, after all.¡±


    Luo Yuchang was like a school of piranhas. Once they entered the water, there would be no coming back. If they targeted Kerry Financial Company, would they be able to survive? The situation looked bleak. It felt like they would lose even before the war started.


    ¡°President Jiang, I think it¡¯s better that we postpone the acquisition of Kerry. Kerry is just too powerful. Even if Kerry lost money, with Luo Yuchang¡¯s ability, it won¡¯t take long for him to make up for the loss,¡± Zhang Qidong said again in an attempt to dissuade Jiang Feng.


    If Kerry Financial Company had bones, the bones would be as tough as diamonds. Perhaps, ordinary bones could be slowly ground into dust, but they would break their own teeth trying to grind bones as hard as diamonds. Zhang Qidong really dared not imagine what would happen to Cinda Financial in the future if they proceeded with the plan.


    It seemed to Zhang Qidong that he had to make preparations for the rainy days ahead. He wondered if he should retire and just rest at home. However, he was really unwilling. He had been through many things and had just made a comeback. He really wanted to start all over again, but the situation now seemed really hopeless.


    Song Yaozhong chimed in, ¡°That¡¯s right, President Jiang. I agree with Zhang Qidong. Unlike Kerry, if Cinda suffers a loss, it¡¯ll be difficult to make a comeback. At that time, it won¡¯t be just Kerry. Other companies will also take advantage of the situation and fight to annex us. If we continue, we¡¯re only benefiting them. All they need to do is just sit back and wait for the right time to act.¡±


    Previously, Song Yaozhong had failed to stop Zhang Qidong from making a mistake. Now, he felt like he could not just watch as Jiang Feng, who had just taken office, walked down the same path. He had poured his blood, sweat, and tears into Cinda Financial; he was unwilling to see it fall. It was better to maintain the stability of the company and continue doing small businesses. He would be satisfied even if they only made a few million from each deal.


    ¡°Things are always difficult in the beginning. It¡¯s not like it¡¯s an impossible task. There are pros and cons to everything, and we can just look at the cons,¡± Jiang Feng said calmly. However, he was also slightly worried inwardly.


    Indeed, from the looks of it, it really did seem like Cinda Financial did not stand a chance at all. However, Jiang Feng did not think it was an impossible feat. Luo Yuchang was human; he would inevitably have flaws. As long as they catch his weakness, they would be able to deal with Kerry Financial Company.


    ¡°President Jiang, if we fail, we¡¯ll really lose the company this time. Why don¡¯t we consider the bigger picture and take our time? What do you think?¡± Zhang Qidong asked in a low voice as he sighed inwardly.


    It was not that Zhang Qidong had never been young and rash. However, he had been tempered by time and reality.


    Everyone was different. There was a difference in IQ, ability, appearance, and so on. Some people were born to be kings while some people could only be peasants.


    Zhang Qidong thought that he was a little lucky. He started from scratch and managed to carve out a little space for himself in the industry. He earned decent money, and his company was relatively stable. He lived his life safely without taking risks. Alas, the one time he charged forward boldly, he almost destroyed his hard work. Fortunately, he got lucky again and managed to save the company. As such, he was determined not to take risks or charge forward boldly again. If the company faced a crisis again, he was not sure there would be anyone to save it this time. He really did not want to lose and could not afford to lose.


    Jiang Feng shook his head and analyzed the situation clearly. ¡°Luo Yuchang is determined to acquire Cinda. He won¡¯t let Cinda go. Not when he had planned for such a long time for it. We can¡¯t be passive and play it safe. We¡¯ll only end up harming ourselves if we do that. Right now, we can only fight with our backs against the wall. We can¡¯t be intimidated, and we have to take the initiative to strike first.¡±


    Zhang Qidong was filled with self-blame as he said, ¡°You have a point, President Jiang. It¡¯s all my fault. If I didn¡¯t fall into Luo Yuchang¡¯s trap, perhaps, I wouldn¡¯t be in that situation.¡± After a moment, he seemed to have made uphis mind as he asked, ¡°President Jiang, what should we do now?¡±

 Chapter 71 - Help From the Beauty

    At this time, Jiang Feng turned to look at Lin Miaoxue.


    The duo looked at each other for a while. When Lin Miaoxue was about to speak, Jiang Feng beat her to it and asked, ¡°Miaoxue, do you have any good ideas?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue was slightly surprised that Jiang Feng asked for her opinion. After all, she used to be an employee of Kerry Financial Company. Was he not trusting her too much? Moreover, she had yet to agree to join Cinda Financial. Not only did he ask for her opinion, but he even allowed her to sit in on the meeting. Was he not worried she would leak information?


    However, when Lin Miaoxue recalled that Jiang Feng said they were like family, her heart warmed up. Since he trusted her so much, she would not let him down. Since she no longer had any ties to Kerry Financial Company, it would not be against her ethics to advise him.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were stunned by Jiang Feng¡¯s words. Was it a good idea for him to ask for the opinion of a former employee of Kerry Financial Company? Although she might be able to provide some information about Kerry Financial Company, the information might not be of any use. Based on her age, she could not have been in Kerry Financial Company for long, and her position could not be very high. As such, what use could she be?


    Although Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were not like Luo Yuchang, at the very least, they used to be the owner and the chief financial officer of a company respectively. They should have more experience than the young woman in front of them. Even if she worked at Kerry Financial Company before, how could she have more experience than them? They did not understand why Jiang Feng would ask for her opinion. They could not come up with a good idea so what good idea could the young woman come up with?


    Lin Miaoxue thought about it for a moment before she finally said, ¡°I think Cinda might be able to compete with Kerry.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Feng looked at her hopefully and seriously.


    Jiang Feng did not know exactly the extent of Lin Miaoxue¡¯s ability. He could only vaguely sense that she would be an asset to Cinda Financial and that she would be able to help his career. Moreover, everything happened at the right time. He needed talented people, and she just happened to quit her job.


    Song Yaozhong and Zhang Qidong could hardly believe their ears.


    ¡°M-miss Lin, what¡­ what did you say?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue repeated her earlier words before she continued to say, ¡°Although Luo Yuchang¡¯s company is powerful, it¡¯s not invincible. He likes playing dirty, and playing dirty means high risks and high returns. However, now we¡¯re dealing with futures. We¡¯ve always played the long game, and we¡¯re not good at short games.¡±


    Zhang Qidong nodded before he shook his head.


    Lin Miaoxue said confidently, ¡°If it¡¯s a short-term operation, I might be able to help.¡±


    Zhang Qidong asked, surprised, ¡°Miss Lin, you¡¯re a professional trader?¡±


    A professional trader was responsible for managing funds, judging the market, and grasping the timing of the opening and closing positions. His or her abilities were also tied to the funds they could control.


    Lin Miaoxue was confident about her experience and ability to move hundreds of millions of funds. She could seize the fleeting chance in the investment market and earn the difference in price through the frequent opening and closing positions. She could even influence the price fluctuations of the market. A trader like her could be considered rare. At the very least, Zhang Qidong never had a subordinate like her, and he himself only knew how to look at the general trend. It seemed like the young woman Jiang Feng brought to the company was very outstanding like him as well. The duo was young, but they had high abilities.


    Zhang Qidong did not expect to meet another young and capable person. His regard for Jiang Feng rose again. After all, even the people around Jiang Feng were so capable. After thinking about it, he thought it was not very surprising. For Lin Miaoxue to be able to work at Kerry Financial Company, she had to be outstanding. He wondered if she was going to join Cinda Financial. If Jiang Feng and her joined forces, it seemed like Cinda Financial¡¯s future was going to be even brighter.


    Song Yaozhong shared Zhang Qidong¡¯s sentiments. He had assumed that she was beautiful just like a vase, but he did not expect her to be so capable as well. As expected of someone by Jiang Feng¡¯s side, she was able to analyze the situation quickly.


    Jiang Feng was handsome and rich. Not only that, but he was very capable as well. He had helped them earn so much money previously, and now he managed to recruit such a talented person. Who knew how many more talented people he would recruit in the future? Cinda Financial would only be better with new blood.


    It was a good thing that Cinda Financial faced a crisis previously. Otherwise, they would not know about Jiang Feng at all. Jiang Feng was simply a hidden gem. He was like Cinda Financial¡¯s god of wealth.


    At this time, Lin Miaoxue nodded. ¡°I have some experience. As long as we seize the opportunity to snipe, we¡¯ll have the opportunity to cut off his financial chain. However, the problem with sniping him is that we need a huge amount of money. I estimate that we need at least a few billion to do so. If we don¡¯t have this much funds at least, I¡¯m afraid that we¡¯ll be devoured by Luo Yuchang.¡±


    Jiang Feng was very pleased by Lin Miaoxue¡¯s analysis. She was indeed very capable. He felt like he had asked for help from the right person.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were too honest. They were much suited to long-term investments. Short-term investments that needed one to have a good grasp of the situation and manipulation of the market were more suited to Lin Miaoxue.


    The problem now was that Jiang Feng did not have enough funds. He would have to think of a way.


    Zhang Qidong was further stunned by Lin Miaoxue¡¯s ability. He had been in the industry for so long and had seen the changes in the investment market. Due to his fear, he had never taken risks. The only time he did, he fell into Luo Yuchang¡¯s trap. He was the kind to only defend. Even if he decided to go on the offense, he would not be able to come up with Lin Miaoxue¡¯s ideas. He would only slowly accept deals to let Cinda FInancial develop and grow.


    Although Lin Miaoxue did not look as powerful as Jiang Feng, she was still a rare talent. She was quick-witted and flexible. Jiang Feng was amazing, and the people around him were amazing as well.


    Song Yaozhong was also impressed by Lin Miaoxue¡¯s quick and accurate analysis. She was able to see the situation clearly in just an instant. Even he was not capable of such a thing even though he had been working with Zhang Qidong for so many years. Moreover, with his position, he had also seen many shady things and knew a lot.


    ¡®As expected of President Jiang, he has a discerning eye and is a good leader!¡¯


    Thinking of the money they needed, Zhang Qidong felt troubled. ¡°How are we going to get so much money? We only have hundreds of millions now.¡±


    How were they going to obtain so much money in such a short time? No matter how hard they tried, it would be difficult to make a few billion in one go. The situation seemed to be as hopeless as before.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong felt discouraged and disappointed again.


    Even if they managed to find another Pork Inc., they would perhaps have a billion. It was still not enough. Luo Yuchang had so much money so he would definitely invest more than that. It seemed like they still had no way to go against Kerry Financial Company.


    How could they get so much money in a short time? It was as difficult as ascending to the sky. No matter how much effort they spent, they could not make another few billion in one go. From the looks of it, there was still no hope for them.


    Lin Miaoxue sighed inwardly and nodded. ¡°Indeed. We¡¯re short of funds. There aren¡¯t many opportunities to make so much money in such a short time.¡±


    As expected, even with a good idea, it was still seemingly impossible to take down Kerry Financial Company. They really did understand Jiang Feng¡¯s thoughts. This feat was simply impossible.


    Jiang Feng was still as calm as usual as he said, ¡°Both of you continue to observe the situation and make plans. I¡¯ll think of a way to get the funds.¡±


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    The trio was perplexed.


    Did Jiang Feng really have a way to obtain so much money in such a short time?

 Chapter 72 - Picking Up His Second Aunt

    After a few days, Jiang Feng still had not come up with a way to solve his financial problems. Fortunately, Luo Yuchang had yet to make a move so there was still time.


    At this time, Jiang Feng received a call from Jiang Jianzhong. He said, ¡°Little Feng, your second aunt and cousin are at the train station. Quickly accompany your second uncle to pick them up.¡±


    1


    Jiang Feng called for a car. After picking his second uncle up, they went to the train station.


    The train station was bustling. Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was also knocked to the ground by the stream of people.


    Jiang Feng quickly caught his second uncle.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle looked around. When he did not see his wife and daughter, he brought his phone out as he muttered, ¡°There are too many people. I wonder where they are.¡±


    After dialing his wife¡¯s number, just as he placed his phone against his ear, Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt saw him.


    She waved and called out, ¡°Over here!¡±


    Jiang Shi jumped and waved as well. She did not behave like a teenager, but more like a child. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Feng, who was standing next to her father. She thought her cousin was rather handsome. Seeing that her cousin had such a big house, she thought his ability must not be bad as well. In short, he was young and promising. She thought that he must have a lot of fangirls and wondered how she could make money from them.


    Jiang Shi and her mother had quite a lot of luggage with them.Seeing this, Jiang Feng helped them with it.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt quickly stopped him, worried he would be tired. She said, ¡°You¡¯re Little Feng, right? Don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll carry the luggage ourselves.¡±


    ¡°Second Aunt, don¡¯t be so polite. The car is just outside so the walk isn¡¯t long,¡± Jiang Feng said. He ignored his second aunt¡¯s refusal and took the luggage from her.


    ¡°Little Feng, you¡¯re really sensible. My daughter is really insensible. She brought so many useless things and added to our burden,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt said as she looked at Jiang Shi with a hint of reproach.


    Jiang Shi wore an indignant expression on her face as she grumbled, ¡°What do you mean by useless things? Mom, you don¡¯t understand me at all. Isn¡¯t it normal for girls to have a lot of things? I have uses for all of them.¡±


    ¡°What useful things do you have? Aren¡¯t they just cosmetics that take up space? You have too many things. Let¡¯s see how you¡¯re going to arrange them later,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt said, showing signs of bickering with Jiang Shi as she glared at Jiang Shi.


    ¡°Second Aunt, don¡¯t worry. The house is big. Little Shi will have space to keep her things,¡± Jiang Feng said.


    ¡°Cousin, you¡¯re the best! I¡¯m your fangirl from now on!¡± Jiang Shi said as she cleverly held Jiang Feng¡¯s arm before making a face at her mother.


    ¡°This child!¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt looked at her daughter helplessly as she said, ¡°Little Feng, she might cause you a lot of trouble in the future. She¡¯s really not obedient.¡±


    ¡°No, I¡¯m very obedient!¡± Jiang Shi said as she winked at Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng was amused. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Second Aunt. I¡¯ll look after Little Shi.¡±


    ¡°Look, Cousin said don¡¯tworry,¡± Jiang Shi said to her parents. Then, she said bitterly to Jiang Feng, ¡°Cousin, where¡¯s the car? I still have to do my homework when we get back.¡±


    Then, Jiang Shi¡¯s eyes lit up as she continued to say, ¡°However, I¡¯ll be going to school in the city, right? I can¡¯t wait. I can go out and play as well!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re quite smart. Yes, you¡¯ll be going to school in the city,¡± Jiang Feng said with a nod as he led the trio to the car.


    The designated driver placed the luggage in the trunk of the car while Jiang Feng gestured to the family of three to get into the car.


    Jiang Shi looked around and exclaimed inwardly, ¡®Wow! Cousin even has a chauffeur!¡¯


    After Jiang Feng got into the passenger¡¯s seat, Jiang Shi hurriedly asked, ¡°Cousin, where did you get your money? You even have a chauffeur and a big house. I really admire you!¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a chauffeur. I called for a car to pick you up. As for the house, I was just lucky,¡± Jiang Feng replied with a faint smile.


    ¡°This kind of luck is too heaven-defying! Cousin, if you need help, you can talk to me. Although I¡¯m just a high school student, my life experience is not bad!¡± Jiang Shi said, promoting herself. Her eyes shone with eagerness as she looked at Jiang Feng.


    ¡°Alright, alright, if I need anything, I¡¯ll look for you,¡± Jiang Feng said with a smile. He thought that his cousin was quite interesting.


    ¡°How much money can you earn doing your stupid live stream every day? I don¡¯t see you offering to help your father,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt said sarcastically. Then, she said with a helpless expression, ¡°Little Feng, your cousin only thinks about nonsense every day. Fortunately, she¡¯s first in her grade. Otherwise, I¡¯d be angered to death.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s expression turned solemn as he said, ¡°It¡¯s almost time for you to prepare for your college entrance exams. Little Shi, you should stop doing those live broadcasts.¡±


    ¡°Dad, don¡¯t you trust me? I¡¯ll definitely pass the exams! Even if I spend my time playing, I¡¯d still get first place!¡± Jiang Shi said casually as she shrugged, ¡°I wonder if those who study day and night are tired. They should also allocate time to play like me! Isn¡¯t that good?¡±


    Jiang Feng did not say anything and only listened quietly. Perhaps, after Jiang Shi graduated from university, he would let her work in the company. With that, he could take care of her. Moreover, she seemed quite smart. With this, his second uncle and second aunt would not need to worry and can enjoy their old age peacefully.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt sighed and asked, ¡°Little Feng, how are your parents? I haven¡¯t seen them in a long time. Your second uncle was very busy, after all.¡±


    ¡°They¡¯re doing well. My father is still plagued with his old illness, but it¡¯s curable and not life-threatening. I¡¯ve also found a doctor to treat Second Uncle. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Jiang Feng replied with a smile.


    ¡°I¡¯ve heard about it from your second uncle. I really feel at ease with you around. However, I really feel sorry about troubling you with this matter. Little Feng, don¡¯t spend too much money on us. You¡¯re not only running your company, but you also have to start a family of your own in the future. You have to save your money,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt said with a sigh, ¡°If only your two cousins are as capable as you, I¡¯d be content for the rest of my life.¡±


    ¡°Little Shi and Chengyuan are very good. They have a bright future ahead of them,¡± Jiang Feng said.


    Jiang Shi patted her chest and chimed in, ¡°Mom, Dad, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t rely on my brother and cousin in the future! I¡¯ll rely on my own ability to get a good job that I like!¡±


    ¡°You? I¡¯d be happy as long as you don¡¯t cause trouble for us.¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt said before pursing her lips. However, she was inwardly happy.


    Although Jiang Shi seemed carefree, she was still very filial to her parents. Although she had grown up, she did not forget her parents.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt thought to herself, ¡®Perhaps, I¡¯ll be able to enjoy her filial piety like Little Feng¡¯s parents.¡¯


    Jiang Shi laughed and said, ¡°Mom, trust me! When I¡¯m successful in the future, you can just enjoy your life!¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright. You¡¯re still young now so you should focus on your studies first,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said happily. He did not expect his daughter to be so ambitious. His daughter would definitely be outstanding in the future.


    ¡°Just wait and see! In a few years, you¡¯ll see the results!¡± Jiang Shi said arrogantly.


    At this time, the car turned into a street.


    Jiang Shi¡¯s eyes darkened immediately as she said through gritted teeth, ¡°If it were for this wretched place, Dad wouldn¡¯t have fallen ill again, and the company wouldn¡¯t have fallen to such a state! I really hate this place!¡±


    Jiang Shi really wished she could destroy this place. If she did not have such a cousin like Jiang Feng, her family would still be in a difficult situation.

 Chapter 73 - A Pleasant Surprise

    Jiang Feng was puzzled and curious. He asked, ¡°Little Shi, what do you mean?¡±


    Then, he looked at the land at the side that was overrun with weeds.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt knocked on Jiang Shi¡¯s head as she said angrily. ¡°Child, stop spouting nonsense!¡± Then, she sighed and said to Jiang Feng, ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡±


    Jiang Feng naturally could tell there was more to the matter than his second aunt let on. He asked, concerned, ¡°Second Aunt, what happened?¡±


    After saying that, Jiang Feng looked at his second uncle.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle wore a complicated expression on his face, looking like he was lost in his thoughts. After a moment, he said, ¡°The city plans to build a new subway line. Previously, there were rumors that it was going to be built here. I partnered up with someone and used all my money to buy the piece of land here at a high price.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt sighed again and shook her head helplessly. ¡°After that, the rumors changed. It was said that the subway line had been changed. With that, the price of the land plummeted.¡±


    Jiang Feng sighed before he said, ¡°Second Uncle is capable and has many means. Being able to obtain this piece of land is also a testament to that. It¡¯s just a pity that his luck wasn¡¯t good.¡± Then, he said comfortingly, ¡°Second Aunt, don¡¯t be sad. Things like that are uncertain. It¡¯s no different from gambling. It¡¯s good enough that Second Uncle got as far as he did.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle sighed and said with a hint of sadness, ¡°I worked hard all my life, but I didn¡¯t expect to lose everything here. All I wanted was to advance. However, thinking about it, I¡¯m still very happy with my memories from before.¡±


    Jiang Shi seemed flustered. ¡°Dad, why are you feeling sad again? You have to take care of your health. Don¡¯t stress yourself out. It doesn¡¯t matter if you lost your company! In the future, I¡¯ll start a company of my own to fulfill your wish!¡±


    ¡°Good, good. I¡¯m very happy to have a daughter like you,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a smile, feeling gratified. However, his expression turned solemn when he looked at Jiang Feng and said, ¡°Little Feng, you have to be careful now that you own a company. The slightest mistake can drag you down to the bottom immediately. Sometimes, you can¡¯t trust insider information¡­¡±


    Jiang Feng asked curiously, ¡°Second Uncle, are you working now?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle used to be the owner of a company. After losing the company, Jiang Feng did not know if his uncle had gone to another place to work. The road ahead was difficult, and he had to be careful every step of the way. Otherwise, he would fall into a very difficult position.


    Upon hearing Jiang Feng¡¯s words, Jiang Shi said furiously, ¡°Speaking of this, I¡¯m really angry! Cousin, the company my father is working at now is really terrible! I¡¯ve never heard of a more ridiculous company! My father even fell ill because of it!¡±


    Her father¡¯s boss overworked her father. Not only did he have to work overtime, but he even had to work overtime during the weekends. If it were not for the fact that she was still a student, she would have gone to the company and kicked her father¡¯s boss.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Feng continued to ask.


    ¡°In the past, my father was a good boss. He gave a lot of benefits to his company. After losing the company, he was forced to work in a wretched company! His boss is mean and inhumane! Not only is Dad grossly underpaid, but he¡¯s forced to work overtime all the time as well!¡± Jiang Shi said indignantly.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle shook his head. He thought that Jiang Shi was still naive.


    If his gamble on this piece of land had paid off, his company would have risen to great heights. Alas, he lost the gamble and lost everything. If there were a chance to do it again, he would have made a different choice. Alas, there was no medicine for regret. He could only be a small employee now and work hard for the rest of his life. This was the harsh reality of life.


    Jiang Feng said comfortingly, ¡°Second Uncle, don¡¯t think about this matter anymore. There¡¯ll definitely be a chance for you to make a comeback in the future. You still have many years ahead of you!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle sighed and waved his hand. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. It¡¯s all in the past. It happened quite a while ago so I¡¯m not sad. In fact, I¡¯m in a good mood now!¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled. ¡°Second uncle, don¡¯t worry. You have me to take care of you in the future.¡±


    Suddenly, Jiang Feng received a notification from the system.


    [Ding! Congratulations on activating the Divine-Choice System. You¡¯ve triggered the wasteland. You¡¯re rewarded with a copy of the city¡¯s subway line blueprint]


    Jiang Feng was surprised. Then, delight burst forth from his heart.


    It just so happened that he needed a large amount of money. This notification was definitely a pleasant surprise. As long as he took advantage of this opportunity, he would be able to make a large amount of money. If he succeeded, it would not be difficult to go against Luo Yuchang and acquire Kerry Financial Company.


    The government was very strict with the blueprint of the subway line. It was impossible for it to leak out, and others could only speculate and gamble. If they lost, they would suffer a huge loss. If they won, they would make a lot of money. It was not surprising that many people did not dare to take such risks. After all, the cost was too high if they lost.


    However, with this reward, Jiang Feng did not have to take any risks at all. He would be able to make a lot of money to go against Luo Yuchang. Perhaps, he could even acquire Kerry Financial Company soon.


    Jiang Feng could already see himself earning a huge amount of money. After the completion of the construction, the value of the surrounding land would increase as well. Apart from that, the land appropriated by the government would be very high as well. He only needed to successfully obtain the land.


    Once he succeeded, not to mention Luo Yuchang, he could easily resolve other problems as well.


    After obtaining the land, once the subway line was officially announced, the land price would rise immediately. He could also use the land as collateral and borrow money from the bank.


    In short, this reward would help him defeat Luo Yuchang and obtain Kerry Financial Company. With Kerry Financial Company, Cinda Financial would reach new heights. At that time, it would also be much easier to enter a larger market.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s heart was filled with expectations and hope at this time. He felt very confident. Fortunately, he had this rare system. Otherwise, it would really be difficult for him to solve this problem. Now that he was given the solution, he had to focus on obtaining the land. With this thought in mind, he could not help but look at his second uncle.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was puzzled when he saw Jiang Feng looking at him. He asked, ¡°Little Feng, what¡¯s wrong?¡±


    He could not help but worry, wondering if Jiang Feng encountered a problem.


    Jiang Feng said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Second Uncle. I just have something to tell you when we return. It¡¯s quite important.¡±


    Although he did not have connections, his second uncle did. As long as he made good of the connections, he would be able to buy the land. Since he had several hundred million, he did not have to worry about not being able to purchase the land.


    Apart from that, he could also help his second uncle revive his company and his dream. At that time, he would also have connections in the real estate industry. They could help each other. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.


    His second uncle was very reliable. In the future, Cinda Financial would have help, and he did not have to worry so much if he encountered problems in the future.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he wondered inwardly, ¡®Did Little Feng really encounter a problem? I have to help him as much as I can!¡¯

 Chapter 74 - Rebuilding the Company

    When they arrived, Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle led his wife and Jiang Shi out of the car. His wife and his daughter were both shocked when they saw the house. The house was not something they could afford.


    The house was minimalistic, but it was beautiful. The lawn was very well-kept. The surroundings were quiet, and the faint fragrance of flowers permeated the fresh air. They could see the sea from the house.


    ¡°This house is amazing! I like it a lot!¡± Jiang Shi, who could not stop smiling since she met Jiang Feng, exclaimed.


    ¡°Second Uncle, Second Aunt, tell me if you need anything. There¡¯s no need to stand on ceremony with me. You helped my family when I was young, and it¡¯s only right that I look after you now,¡± Jiang Feng said as he brought the luggage into the house.


    ¡°Alright, alright. Little Feng, you¡¯re too kind. We¡¯re fine. Jiang Shi and I brought everything we needed. Moreover, you seem to have everything here. I don¡¯t even need some of the things I brought anymore,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt said. Then, she thought of something else before she added, ¡°Little Feng, if you¡¯re busy, you can leave first. We¡¯ll handle everything here. I still want to visit your parents later.¡±


    Jiang Feng shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not busy now. Moreover, I still want to speak to Second Uncle.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s speak now,¡± Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle said, feeling worried.


    Jiang Sheng¡¯s second aunt brought out the tea and snacks before she asked, ¡°Little Feng, are you hungry? I have some snacks here.¡±


    ¡°Second Aunt, it¡¯s fine. I¡¯m not hungry. You can go and do what you need to do.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then both of you should speak,¡± Jiang Sheng¡¯s second aunt said before returning to her bedroom.


    Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle looked at Jiang Feng solemnly and said, ¡°Little Feng, go ahead.¡±


    ¡°Second Uncle, do you still have connections in the real estate industry? I want to invest in real estate,¡± Jiang Feng said with a serious expression on his face.


    Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle was stunned. He did not expect this. He wondered if he had heard wrong so he asked again, ¡°Little Feng, what did you say?¡±


    ¡°I want to invest in real estate,¡± Jiang Feng said again patiently.


    ¡°There are many dirty tricks in this industry. You might lose money. Little Feng, have you thought about this?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle asked, still shocked.He did not understand why Jiang Feng suddenly wanted to enter the real estate industry. It was not an easy industry to enter. He felt that Jiang Feng was still inexperienced and that Jiang Feng might suffer a loss.


    After a moment, Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle said, ¡°Put everything else aside, just the government policies alone are very strict. A few years ago, a restriction was imposed on the purchases of land and houses. Then, there were also forced demolitions and so on. All of these have caused the industry to suffer. The overall economy is also going down, and it¡¯s the same for the industry. At the same time, the price of real estate continues to rise. Many people can¡¯t afford to buy houses, and they¡¯re hoping for the price to fall. All in all, it¡¯s not as easy to earn money.¡±


    Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle continued to say, ¡°Moreover, banks are also very strict with their loans. Not to mention the increase in interest rates and the lengthening of the loan direction, the qualifications to have your loan approved are very strict as well. Even if the loan is approved, it¡¯d take a while for it to be processed. By the time you¡¯re done with everything, you¡¯ll already be exhausted. How are you going to invest?¡±


    Jiang Feng had already thought about everything. He only said, ¡°Second Uncle, I¡¯ll help you rebuild your company. You should resign from your current job. Think about it. My plan can¡¯t be explained in just a few words¡­¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was stunned. He could not help but feel skeptical when he heard his nephew say that he was going to help him to rebuild his company. He had once thought about rebuilding his company as well, but he was only rewarded with disappointment.


    ¡°Trust me, Second Uncle. If we work together, we¡¯ll definitely be able to do it. I have several hundred million in funds now. I plan to buy a piece of land first, and slowly buy more in the future¡­¡±


    Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle shook his head. ¡°Little Feng, you¡¯re unfamiliar with the industry so you don¡¯t know the dark side of it and you don¡¯t know how scary it is. You have no idea what I¡¯ve seen in the course of my career.¡± A hint of desolation could be seen in his eyes as he continued to say, ¡°There was once when I went to discuss cooperation with a company. The owner was very driven and was about the same age as you. Anyway, due to some circumstances, we didn¡¯t end up cooperating in the end. Nonetheless, we were on quite good terms. After a few years, I thought about him and wanted to invite him out for a meal. However, I found out that his company went bankrupt, and later on, I saw on the news that he was driven to commit suicide¡­¡±


    ¡°Second Uncle, we are not the same people. I¡¯ve thought about this, and I¡¯ve made plans as well. I even prepared for the worst. Even if I fail, what matters is that I tried. I¡¯ll be satisfied with that, and I won¡¯t let my failure drag me down,¡± Jiang Feng said, trying to persuade his second uncle.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle still could not make up his mind. He truly felt that there was no hope and that it was just a foolish endeavor. After a moment, he said, ¡°Little Feng, I think things are good now. I don¡¯t want to drag you down with me. Since I lost my company, it means that my time in the industry had come to an end. Moreover, it also means that I don¡¯t have sufficient ability.¡±


    ¡°Second Uncle, are you really satisfied? You¡¯ve worked hard most of your life to build your company. Are you willing to give up just like that? You can¡¯t display your ability and potential now in your current job? You could¡¯ve been a powerhouse in the industry,¡± Jiang Feng said, feeling slightly anxious. He was trying to goad his second uncle since it was useless trying to persuade him with a soft approach.


    Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle felt very conflicted. When he lost his company, he was in despair. He was old, and his body no longer allowed him to continue like he was young. As such, he could only give up. However, Jiang Feng was young and had an enterprising spirit. Even if Jiang Feng failed, it was fine since he had years ahead of him to try again. It was clear to him that Jiang Feng had already made up his mind. He could not quash Jiang Feng¡¯s spirit, and it was true that the young should gain experience. Perhaps, the only thing he could do is to help Jiang Feng as much as he could.


    Jiang Feng said again, ¡°Second Uncle, I¡¯ve thought about everything. The only thing I need now is your help.¡±


    Finally, Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle mustered up his courage and agreed. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s rebuild the company!¡±

 Chapter 75 - 75 Recruiting Sang Yan

    75 Recruiting Sang Yan


    ¡°However, just the two of us aren¡¯t enough,¡± Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle said as he shook his head.


    Jiang Feng was troubled as well. ¡°Second Uncle, do you have anyone in mind?¡±


    Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle thought about it for a moment before he smacked his thigh and exclaimed, ¡°I do!¡±


    After that, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle brought a photo out. The photo was of him and a man. They both looked like they were in high spirits. Their arms were around each other¡¯s shoulders, and they were grinning widely. Clearly, they were very good friends.


    ¡°This is?¡± Jiang Feng asked curiously. He was naturally happy about having more help. It would be easier if he had another person helping him. It would also mean that he would have more time and energy to deal with other things.


    ¡°His name is Sang Yan. He was my chauffeur previously. After I lost the company, we naturally parted ways,¡± Jiang Sheng¡¯s second uncle said with a hint of nostalgia on his face, ¡°He¡¯s a good person. When I first met him, I was an employee of a small company. He was working as a chauffeur for the company at that time. We had many things in common, and he entrusted me with a lot of matters as well. Later on, we were both fired by the company. At that time, I was very down. In hindsight, I feel grateful now for being fired at that time. After that, I started my own company, and he helped and supported me as well. Originally, I wanted to give him a high position, but he insisted on being a chauffeur. He said he was used to his job and that he loved his job. Even if the pay was not a lot, the experience was worth it.¡±


    ¡°No wonder this photo is important to you. Second Uncle, do you miss him?¡± Jiang Feng asked. It would be good if he could recruit this person. Not only did he need help, but his second uncle could also reunite with his old friend.


    ¡°Of course, I miss Sang Yan. I wonder how he¡¯s doing now. Although he was working as a chauffeur, he knew a lot about real estate. In fact, he was even more knowledgeable than I was. Moreover, due to the nature of his job, he knew a lot of people. He had a high EQ, and he was also very eloquent. Both of us really got along very well and had a tacit understanding with each other,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said. Then, he said hesitantly, ¡°However, I¡¯m not sure if he¡¯ll agree to join us. I¡¯ll have to speak to him.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°Then, let¡¯s visit him.¡±


    ¡­


    The next morning.


    Jiang Feng and his second uncle set out to look for Sang Yan. When they arrived at his house, his second uncle took a deep breath before ringing the doorbell.


    Ding! Dong!


    Soon enough, the door opened, revealing a fat man. However, one could still vaguely see the features of the man in the photo.


    Sang Yan¡¯s eyes were bright as he smiled widely. ¡°Buddy! Long time no see! I found a new job recently. I was planning to visit you, but I didn¡¯t expect you to come instead! As expected, we still have our telepathic connection!¡±


    Sang Yan laughed happily.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle could not help but step forward to hug Sang Yang, overwhelmed with joy. He said, ¡°That¡¯s good. I see you¡¯re living well!¡±


    At this time, Sang Yan saw Jiang Feng, who was standing at the side. He asked with slightly narrowed eyes, ¡°This is?¡±


    Jiang Feng took the initiative to walk over and said, ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Jiang Feng.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle patted Jiang Feng¡¯s shoulder, looking rather proud as he said, ¡°This is my nephew.¡±


    ¡°So he¡¯s your nephew. He looks quite handsome. Buddy, you¡¯ve grown old. You¡¯re no longer the handsome boss from the past!¡± Sang Yang said teasingly. Then he said, ¡°It so happens that the company I¡¯m working for is looking to hire a manager. The salary is 10,000 a month. It¡¯s quite good.¡±


    ¡°10,000? That¡¯s a little low,¡± Jiang Feng said lightly.


    ¡°Kid, don¡¯t talk big!¡± Sang Yang laughed and shook his head before he said to Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle, ¡°Buddy, your nephew is quite proud and arrogant.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle shook his head. He put his hand on Jiang Feng¡¯s shoulder and said proudly, ¡°My nephew isn¡¯t an ordinary person. It¡¯s normal for him to say such words.¡±


    ¡°Buddy, do you have a fever?¡± Sang Yan asked as he reached up to place his hand on Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s forehead before touching his own forehead. Then, he said with a puzzled expression, ¡°Strange. You don¡¯t have a fever. Buddy, why are you talking nonsense? 10,000 for a young person is considered a high salary.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s expression turned serious as he said, ¡°I know it¡¯s hard to believe. I was like you as well. However, my nephew really earns a lot.¡±


    Sang Yan raised an eyebrow and said skeptically, ¡°Is that so? Buddy, you can¡¯t trust kids too much nowadays. They only talk about the good and omit the bad.¡± Then, he said to Jiang Feng, ¡°Kid, it¡¯s not good to boast.¡±


    Sang Yang was a little unhappy and helpless. After all, he thought the young man in front of him, who just entered the working force recently, was too arrogant. At such a young age, how could he earn more than 10,000 a month? He even said 10,000 was too little. With his age, it seemed like he still had to curry favor with his boss at the workplace.


    ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth,¡± Jiang Feng said with a shrug and a smile. He did not take offense to Sang Yang¡¯s words.


    ¡°Buddy, Little Feng isn¡¯t lying. You¡¯ve misunderstood him,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said earnestly. Then, he said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t just stand there. Come out and have a look at the car he bought.¡±


    Sang Yan walked out. He was dumbfounded when he saw the Pagani. Although he did not know much about cars, he knew a genuine luxury sports car when he saw one. At a glance, he could tell it was not cheap. However, he thought for such a young person to be able to own such an expensive car, it must be due to his family¡¯s money. Nonetheless, it still meant that the young man was capable. He felt relieved knowing that Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle had such a good nephew. With such a nephew, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle, who had worked hard his whole life, could enjoy his life.


    Sang Yang said, filled with praise, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve seen it. The car is indeed not bad. It must be very expensive. Your nephew is very promising, unlike my child.¡± Then, he asked, ¡°Buddy, why did you visit this time? We haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time now. Let¡¯s have a drink and chat!¡±


    Sang Yang was in a good mood. He was just thinking about this old friend, and coincidentally, his old friend paid him a visit. It had to be the telepathy between them. He said, ¡°Although I¡¯m still a chauffeur, I have a good relationship with the boss of my company. If you need help, let me know.¡± Then, after a beat, he added, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If anyone dares to bully you, I¡¯ll stand up for you!¡±


    ¡°Buddy, I understand your kind intentions.¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was very touched. He did not expect that when he was down and out, his friend would still think of him. If there was anything good, his friend did not forget about him. Now that he was going to rebuild his company, how could he not ask his friend to join him?


    Sang Yan waved his hand and said, ¡°We¡¯re old friends! Don¡¯t be so polite. I¡¯m not used to it!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s Second Uncle felt warm in his heart. He said, ¡°In fact, I came to see you today for a reason.¡±


    Jiang Feng chimed in, ¡°Uncle Sang Yan, I plan to start a company, and I hope you¡¯ll join us.¡±


    ¡°Ah?!¡± Sang Yang was stunned, and his mind went blank. He thought he had heard wrong so he asked again, stammering, ¡°You¡­ W-what did you say?¡±

 Chapter 76 - 76 A Crazy Idea

    76 A Crazy Idea


    Sang Yang was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.


    ¡®Such a young person wants to start a company? Is he serious? He wants to enter the real estate industry at such a young age? Young people nowadays are really capable¡­¡¯


    Sang Yang¡¯s eyes carried a hint of admiration as he looked at Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng was dressed in an ordinary white shirt and black pants. He looked like a scholar.


    Then, Sang Yang turned to Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle and asked, ¡°Buddy, are you sure about him?¡±


    ¡°Yes. Trust me. Sang Yan, we¡¯ll definitely succeed,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said as he patted Sang Yan¡¯s shoulder.


    Sang Yan still found the matter hard to believe. He moved to stand in front of Jiang Feng before he asked skeptically, ¡°Kid, how are you going to start a company? You¡¯re only in your twenties. Don¡¯t joke around.¡± Then, he shook his head and said to Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle, ¡°Buddy, what are you thinking? You actually believe the words of a child. I still think you should come and work at the company I¡¯m working for.¡±


    It was not surprising that Sang Yang did not believe in Jiang Feng¡¯s capability. He did not have the time or the energy to play with a child. He still had his parents and children to look after, and he was also getting older.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said seriously, ¡°Sang Yan, if you don¡¯t want to join us, I naturally won¡¯t blame you. However, I really trust my nephew. I want to rebuild the company. You know I don¡¯t say such words lightly.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Sang Yan hesitated.


    Sang Yan naturally wanted to help his good friend through difficult times and rebuild the company. It was also a good thing to be able to work with his good friend again. However, it was difficult for him to trust the ability of a young man.


    Seeing the troubled and conflicted expression on Sang Yan¡¯s face, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle patted Sang Yan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll be happy if you join us, but if you don¡¯t, it¡¯s fine as well.¡±


    ¡°Buddy, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help you rebuild the company, but young people are rash. What are your plans?¡± Sang Yang could not make up his mind. He turned to look at Jiang Feng with doubts written all over his face.


    Upon hearing these words, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle also remembered he had yet to hear about Jiang Feng¡¯s plan. He asked, ¡°That¡¯s right, Little Feng. What are your plans?¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled and said solemnly, ¡°I want to buy a piece of land we saw yesterday.¡±


    Sang Yan was stunned. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re talking about the land that your second uncle wasted a lot of money trying to buy?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Jiang Feng nodded.


    ¡°Are you crazy?!¡± Sang Yan¡¯s voice grew louder and louder as he said, ¡°Buddy, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know it yourself! That land is trouble! You¡¯ll only lose money!¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was also stunned. He did not expect Jiang Feng to want that piece of land that could not make money. Moreover, it was due to that piece of land that he lost his company. He did not understand why Jiang Feng would want that piece of land. If Jiang Feng went down this path, would his beautiful life now not disappear? He could not let Jiang Feng follow down this path.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was both anxious and angry as he said, ¡°Little Feng, what are you thinking? Didn¡¯t you hear what your second aunt said? It¡¯s because of that piece of land that I lost everything! Do you want to lose everything you¡¯ve worked so hard for?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was so angry that he began to sway on his feet, looking like he was about to faint.


    Jiang Feng quickly rushed over to support his second uncle. He explained, ¡°Second Uncle, my decision isn¡¯t wrong. That piece of land is very useful. Please calm down. You have to think about your health.¡±


    ¡°How can I calm down? Initially, I thought the subway line would pass through that piece of land so I was determined to buy it. However, news has already spread; the land has no value now. How can you act so rashly?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said as he shook his head and gestured with his hands, ¡°I thought you had a proper plan. I didn¡¯t expect you to set your eyes on that piece of land. No, no, you can¡¯t act so rashly.¡±


    Sang Yan said with a hint of helplessness, ¡°You¡¯re as stubborn as your second uncle. I don¡¯t know if your second aunt told you about it, but the price of the land had dropped greatly. After all, the news is quite credible even if it¡¯s not an official announcement.¡±


    At the same time, Sang Yang sighed inwardly. He was happy when he heard that his friend wanted to rebuild his company, but it seemed like it would only remain a dream now. Even if they obtained the land, it would only cause them to lose money. What was the point of obtaining something that would only waste money?


    ¡®As expected, you can¡¯t trust young people¡­ It¡¯s a pity seeing that my old friend was so hopeful just a moment ago¡­¡¯


    Jiang Feng shook his head and said firmly, ¡°I disagree. I think that piece of land will give us a pleasant surprise. Second Uncle, trust me. Even if I fail, I can start over again. I¡¯ll take responsibility for everything.¡±


    Sang Yan said just as firmly, ¡°You¡¯re young so you can start again. But what about us? You should consider your second uncle. It¡¯s impossible to make money from that piece of land. Your second uncle has experience with it!¡±


    Sang Yan was determined not to let his old friend make the same mistake again.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, ¡°Little Feng, I¡¯ve already investigated everything. The value of that piece of land will drop even more greatly in the future. When the subway line is formally announced, you¡¯ll lose everything. I¡¯m not trying to discourage you, but you¡¯re young and impetuous. No one wants that piece of land¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good that no one wants it. I¡¯ll buy it. Second Uncle, I¡¯m serious about buying it, and I won¡¯t change my mind,¡± Jiang Feng said and pursed his lips. After a moment, he added, ¡°What if we make money? Since the subway line hasn¡¯t been announced, nothing is certain.¡±


    ¡°That piece of land is beyond the subway line. It¡¯s not only me, the others are also certain that this piece of land has no value. You¡¯ll only lose money if you buy it,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a frown. His expression was grim seeing how determined Jiang Feng was. He really could not watch as Jiang Feng made the same mistakes he did.


    Jiang Feng said confidently, ¡°The present is different from the past. Second Uncle, you just have to provide me with the right channels and connections. I¡¯ll do everything on my own. I have to fight for my future!¡±


    Sang Yang smiled faintly. He found Jiang Feng very courageous. He really wanted to fight side by side with his old friend again, but he really did not know if the young man in front of him was reliable or not.


    When Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle saw Sang Yan looking at him, he understood Sang Yan¡¯s meaning. He sighed heavily as he patted Sang Yan¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t look at me. He¡¯s my nephew. Based on this relationship alone, I have to help him no matter what. However, Sang Yan, you should decide for yourself.¡±


    After saying that, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle turned and said in a low voice, ¡°Little Feng, Sang Yan has very good judgment. Since he doesn¡¯t think much of your plan, I really suggest that you give up.¡±


    Jiang Feng remained calm. He only nodded slightly to indicate that he had heard his second uncle¡¯s words. In fact, he understood his second uncle¡¯s thoughts. His second uncle was worried and confused. His second uncle was afraid his judgment would be impaired due to their relationship. Hence, his second uncle brought him to meet Sang Yan. In a way, it could be considered a test as well.


    At this time, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, ¡°Both of you can talk. I¡¯ll leave both of you alone.¡±


    After Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle walked away, Sang Yan asked solemnly, ¡°Put everything else aside, how much money do you have?¡±

 Chapter 77 - 77 Almost a Billion in Funds!

    77 Almost a Billion in Funds!


    Jiang Feng was stunned, but he returned to his senses quickly. He asked curiously, ¡°Uncle Sang Yan, why do you ask?¡±


    The question seemed harmless, but it was in fact, rather tricky.


    Jiang Feng felt rather strange.


    Sang Yan was just a chauffeur. Logically, even if he was capable, he could not be better than professionals. If he was so capable, why was he only a chauffeur? Even his second uncle had said Sang Yan had a very keen eye for real estate. For ordinary people, they definitely would not choose to be a chauffeur if they were capable.


    Jiang Feng could not see through Sang Yan¡¯s thoughts. All he knew was that Sang Yan was rather mysterious and that there was more than meets the eyes with Sang Yan. He could not help but want to know more about Sang Yan.


    Jiang Feng was certain that Sang Yan would definitely be a great help. If he managed to recruit Sang Yan, he would not need to get involved with many things. He believed his second uncle and Sang Yan were a powerful and invincible combination. Thinking of this, he could not help but become excited again.


    Sang Yang remained silent. His mind was filled with scenes of him and his old friend. When his friend decided to join the real estate industry, he had been hesitant to join his old friend. His old friend persuaded and encouraged him, but in the end, he only helped his friend when he could and did not join the company in an official capacity. After so many years, he had seen many things and seen many companies. He also realized that the real estate industry carried a high risk. It was comparable to investing in stocks.


    Not to mention where or what to invest in, the prices of houses and land and the policies varied in every state. That alone would cause a huge headache. Moreover, there were many people who tried to speculate and bought a piece of land. However, in the end, their speculations were wrong, and they had to face bankruptcy.


    Initially, Sang Yan did not have much confidence in his friend. However, he still wanted to help his friend so he had worked hard. Unexpectedly, he discovered his friend had rather good vision and surpassed many people. His friend profited greatly due to his accurate judgment.


    In the past, Sang Yan vaguely remembered an incident where his friend was focused on buying real estate in first and second-tier cities. However, at that time, land and houses in third and fourth-tier cities were on the rise. However, later, his friend¡¯s judgment was proven correct. Due to changes in the cities and policies, the real estate in third and fourth-tier cities gradually cooled down. On the contrary, real estate in first and second-tier became rather popular. At that time, many people were eyeing the real estate in those cities. With that, his old friend made a lot of money.


    Although his old friend lost in the end, Sang Yan still believed in his friend¡¯s ability. As long as there were enough funds, his friend would be able to fight again. The company would definitely grow stronger, and his old friend could also realize his dream.


    Seeing that Sang Yan did not respond for a long time, Jiang Feng called out, puzzled, ¡°Uncle Sang Yan? Uncle Sang Yan?¡±


    Jiang Feng did not know why Sang Yan was lost in his thoughts.


    Sang Yan returned to his senses, realizing he had fallen into a daze. He scratched his head sheepishly and said, ¡°I was thinking about something earlier and became immersed.¡± Then, he said calmly, ¡°You don¡¯t understand the market. Real estate isn¡¯t easy. It¡¯s not as simple as just starting a company.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean? Uncle Sang Yan, please enlighten me,¡± Jiang Feng said seriously as a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes. He looked forward to Sang Yan¡¯s words, certain that he would benefit from listening to Sang Yan.


    ¡°This business on a large scale requires a huge amount of money. You have to have a lot of money to burn. It¡¯s unlike other small businesses where you can invest less but still profit. Moreover, once you fail, you¡¯ll have nothing. Moreover, the industry has been around for a long time. There¡¯s limited room for price increases. There are both market and policy risks as well. If you invest blindly, you¡¯ll lose everything.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°Uncle Sang Yan, I understand. Although I don¡¯t know much, I know that real estate investments are large and that it takes time. It¡¯s common for an investment to take a few years or even more than ten years to see profits. Moreover, developing land and building houses takes time as well. The market has been declining and fluctuating, causing many to lose money in the beginning. Investing so much money makes it even easier to lose everything.¡±


    Sang Yan saw that Jiang Feng had some knowledge so he said, praising Jiang Feng, ¡°You¡¯re right. Since you know that much, you should know that if funds are suddenly cut off in the midst of a project, everything will crumble immediately. Whether one is smart or foolish, everyone knows the risk. Due to the huge funds needed, companies will rely on bank loans in the beginning. However, what happens if there aren¡¯t enough funds? Not only will the project crumble, but there¡¯s also the bank loan. It¡¯s very easy to go bankrupt.¡±


    ¡°I understand, Uncle Sang Uan. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m prepared. I¡¯m also very confident,¡± Jiang Feng said calmly and confidently.


    ¡°That¡¯s what everyone says in the beginning. You don¡¯t want to be burdened with debts after failing, right? Bank loans are quite troublesome. It¡¯s nothing if you make money, but if you lose money, it¡¯ll be troublesome,¡± Sang Yan said, slowly persuading Jiang Feng to give up, ¡°There are all kinds of people in this industry. Alright, let¡¯s not talk about other things first. You don¡¯t have enough funds so you¡¯ll definitely need a loan. I¡¯ve seen too many people lose in the first battle.¡±


    ¡°Take your second uncle for example. In the beginning, he did not have any liquid funds so he borrowed from the bank first. At that time, many people were looking at new commercial houses. However, your second uncle did the opposite. He bought more than a dozen public houses elsewhere. At that time, many people advised him that the value of public housing was rising too slowly, and it would be difficult to see the results of his investment. However, your second uncle was determined. In the end, the property market soared, and the rental of public housing became popular. As a result, the rental income increased greatly. However, that¡¯s all due to luck. Young people like you don¡¯t understand the risks. If you fail, you¡¯ll be burdened with debts for the rest of your life. Are you willing? I think not.¡±


    ¡°No, Uncle Sang Yan. I don¡¯t need a bank loan. The funds I have now are about a few hundred million. In fact, it¡¯s close to a billion,¡± Jiang Feng said seriously. He did not look like he was lying at all.

 Chapter 78 - 78 Targeting the Subway Line!

    78 Targeting the Subway Line!


    Sang Yang was stunned. His hands trembled as he stammered, ¡°Several hundred¡­ Close to a billion?¡±


    Sang Yan¡¯s mind went blank, and it took a while for his brain to start working again. For most people, they did not even have a chance to see that amount of money in their entire lives. Even the owner of a small company could only earn a few hundred million in his lifetime. However, the young man in front of him had already earned almost a billion? It was an impossible feat for an ordinary person. How did the young man do it? Was he a money-making genius?


    Sang Yan could not help but wonder if he could perhaps trust the young man in front of him. Since the other party could earn so much, the other party likely was capable. It was just that the real estate industry was very risky.


    Sang Yan did not know what Jiang Feng planned to do. If they did not do well in the beginning, they could lose everything immediately. He wondered if Jiang Feng already had everything planned out.


    ¡°Yes,¡± Jiang Feng replied. He was already used to this reaction. Back when he used to earn 6,00 yuan a month, he would likely have this reaction as well. Moreover, he would even ask for advice in envy as well.


    It was thanks to the ten million in compensation from the demolition. Otherwise, he would not have reached this level. He had to seize the chance to make the company bigger and better.


    In the past, Jiang Feng did not have the funds or resources. Now that he finally had them, he had to make use of them. He could not go back to the past. His parents relied on him. If he did not improve himself, he would have studied for so many years in vain.


    Sang Yan realized he had lost his composure and quickly calmed down. He cleared his throat before he looked at Jiang Feng with bright eyes and asked, ¡°What do you plan to do first?¡±


    Jiang Feng replied unhurriedly, ¡°I plan to buy that piece of land.¡±


    It was obvious that Jiang Feng was very certain of his plan and that he was determined to obtain that piece of land.


    Sang Yan leaped to his feet and exclaimed, ¡°You still want to obtain that land?!¡±


    Sang Yan gulped after he finished speaking.


    This was extremely risky after all. Moreover, there was Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle who served as an example. This involved the government. They could obtain information using some unorthodox methods, but it was impossible for the information to be 100% accurate. The government guarded the information tightly, not wanting others to have a monopoly on the information. Let alone small companies, even leading companies could not get the information from the government. At most, they could predict and speculate based on bits and pieces of unverified rumors obtained through unorthodox methods.


    Indeed, that piece of land could make them money, but it was tantamount to gambling with one¡¯s life.


    There were very few, if any, people in the world who could accurately predict which piece of land would make money. There were many who gambled and went bankrupt. Even bigshots only dared to invest a small amount of money in this regard, but Jiang Feng, a young man, wanted to invest in the land.


    They could make money in other areas, which were less risky compared to that piece of land. With that piece of land, it would be considered good if he did not lose money.


    ¡®What is this kid thinking? He¡¯s too impulsive! Isn¡¯t he afraid that everything he¡¯s worked so hard for will be gone? He¡¯s too arrogant!¡¯


    Sang Yan really could not figure out what Jiang Feng was thinking. He had already said everything that needed to be said to Jiang Feng, and he did not know what else to say. He felt his legs tremble and could hardly believe it when Jiang Feng mentioned that piece of land again.


    Sang Yan¡¯s voice attracted Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s attention, and he rushed over immediately. He asked anxiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle wondered if the duo quarreled when he was away. It sounded like they were about to fight. It was the first time he had heard Sang Yan speak so loudly.


    Usually, Sang Yan would not speak so loudly. Jiang Feng also had a good temper and was not the type to get angry easily. Hence, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle could not figure out why the duo would quarrel. The duo met for the first time today to discuss starting a company. Why did they suddenly have a conflict?


    Sang Yan calmed down. Then, he looked at Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle, who rushed over, and said with a faint smile, ¡°Buddy, your nephew is determined to obtain that piece of land.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s voice rose in volume as well. He looked at Jiang Feng with wide eyes, not knowing what to say. The industry was risky, to begin with, but Jiang Feng chose the riskiest business. It was impossible to make money. He really did not understand what Jiang Feng was thinking. Jiang Feng actually had the courage to gamble on the subway line. How could ordinary people know anything about the government¡¯s secrets? If Jiang Feng¡¯s prediction failed, only bankruptcy awaited him. The company they just built with great difficulty would crumble immediately. This dangerous move was tantamount to jumping into a pit.


    Putting the huge risks aside, this area was where powerhouses fought.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle was a living example of the consequences. In a moment of rashness, he mortgaged all of his assets. In the end, he lost everything. Would Jiang Feng become like him, losing all his money?


    The subway station and the subway lines, including their planning and regulations, were under the government¡¯s control. The government would not give hints or say anything. Rumors were rumors; there was no saying how accurate they were. Moreover, the government might even leak false information. In short, the risk was too high.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said worriedly, ¡°Little Feng, why do you insist on this? Why are you so insistent on obtaining that land? We have no accurate information so we can only rely on guessing. The probability of guessing correctly is almost zero! Moreover, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t know. I just suffered a loss because of this. Do you want to repeat my mistake? I think you should just continue with your own business and forget about the real estate industry.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle waved his hand, as though he was extinguishing his previously ignited hope. Perhaps, he had expected too much. Ultimately, Jiang Feng was still young. How could Jiang Feng lead a company well?


    Moreover, Jiang Feng¡¯s had a streak of good luck that it seemed like his luck would be running out soon. He likely would not have any luck in the real estate industry. Most importantly, he had set up such a high goal from the beginning. The company would fall as soon as it started.


    In the end, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle concluded it was better not to step into the industry again. It was best not to waste money.


    Jiang Feng understood his second uncle¡¯s painstaking efforts and thoughts. He said seriously, ¡°Second Uncle, I know what to do. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m not going to use all my funds at once. I plan to use 500 million. Moreover, I heard that the subway line will be announced soon. We¡¯re pressed for time. Why don¡¯t we register the company first and talk about the details later.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle thought about it for a moment. He thought this was reasonable. After all, registering the company only needed a deposit. They could decide later about how to invest the money.

 Chapter 79 - 79 The New Company

    79 The New Company


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle looked at Sang Yan and asked, ¡°Sang Yan, I think Little Feng¡¯s suggestion isn¡¯t bad. What do you think?¡±


    Sang Yan hesitated. However, now that the arrow had been nocked on the bow, he did not have time to think about it. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded. ¡°Alright then! I was hesitant. However, since Little Feng is determined, I¡¯ll join all of you.¡±


    After Sang Yan finished speaking, he exhaled loudly. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead. He felt like he had used up all the courage in his lifetime. No matter how the company turned out in the future, at least, he would not have any regrets.


    In the past, Sang Yan had difficulty accepting the bankruptcy of Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s company. Why did they have to lose everything just because of a mistake? He refused to believe it. Even the day before the company officially declared bankruptcy, he had gathered as much money as possible, hoping to make it through the crisis. Alas, it did not work out. He could only continue to be a chauffeur in another company.


    However, even after Sang Yang moved to a new company, he could not help thinking about the days he and Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle struggled and worked together day and night. They spent their time planning the future of the company, arguing over investments, and reconciling. Not only were their days in the now-bankrupt company happy, but they also gained the experience of growing up after paying with their blood, sweat, and tears. They were many times when they were on the brink of death but managed to escape due to their wisdom. Alas, in the end, due to a small mistake, they ended up in such a state. He was naturally unable to accept it. After going through so much, he was unwilling to fall from the top and continue his life as an ordinary person. Apart from that, during their days together, he had also seen Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s ability and talent. He was really unwilling to see his friend¡¯s talent go to waste.


    They had the dream of standing at the top of the pyramid in the real estate industry. However, even if they could not stand at the top, it was okay to stand in the middle. At the very least, they would not have any regrets. However, reality dealt them a harsh blow, crushing their hopes and dreams.


    Unbeknownst to anyone, Sang Yan had yet to give up. He secretly saved money, hoping to continue their dream and to wash away the regret of failure.


    Now that an opportunity came knocking on his door, Sang Yan really did not want to miss it despite his misgivings. He knew if he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life. He felt like he would not be able to die in peace if he missed this opportunity.


    ¡®Let¡¯s go crazy one more time! If we fail, then I¡¯ll completely let go! If we succeed, we¡¯ll realize our dreams and make up for our regrets!¡¯ Sang Yan thought to himself, making up his mind, as his eyes burned brightly with fighting spirit. He did not care now if the company would be the same as before. He would think about it after they registered the company. After that, he could think about investing or not; he was not in a hurry. Since the subway line was about to be announced, many pieces information and rumors would be released during this period. Even if he might not be able to fight to the end, he still wanted to see it to the end. With his attitude of charging forward now, he would definitely be able to witness it. No matter what, this time, he would fight for a comeback with his old friend!


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng was extremely gratified seeing that his second uncle and Sang Yan finally agreed. He finally succeeded in persuading them. With the duo, he would not have to worry much. He would let them manage the company together.


    Sang Yan¡¯s ability was recognized by Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle. Moreover, he had been with his second uncle¡¯s company for so many years. Jiang Feng was not worried Sang Yan would not be able to manage the company.


    In the future, it would be like the situation with Zhang Qidong now. Jiang Feng did not need to be hands-on in the company and would only participate when there were major decisions to be made.


    Once the company was established and began operating, Jiang Feng decided to deal with the matter of the subway line first. After that, he would leave the company to his second uncle and Sang Yan to manage while he focused on acquiring Kerry Financial Company and dealing with Luo Yuchang.


    Jiang Feng was very happy that everything was going according to plan now. If he succeeded in acquiring Kerry Financial Company, Cinda Financial would rise to a new level. At that time, his two companies would be able to help each other. If they encountered any crisis, there would be more help and higher chances of recovering their funds.


    Jiang Feng was in a good mood. He could already see the future of the two companies. After a moment, he asked, ¡°Second Uncle, we¡¯ll register the company under your name. What do you think?¡±


    Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle felt very awkward. His joy from before seemed to have disappeared as well. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. I¡¯ve declared bankruptcy after all. It doesn¡¯t matter that my credit score was good or that I¡¯ve never been unemployed. I can¡¯t have a company under my name.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Jiang Feng thought about it before he looked at Sang Yan and asked, ¡°Then, what about you, Uncle Sang Yan?¡±


    Sang Yan laughed and shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m the same.¡±


    Jiang Feng felt rather helpless because of the rules and regulations. He could not put the company under a stranger¡¯s name. It was too risky. After a moment, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, ¡°Why don¡¯t we put it under Little Shi¡¯s name?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said hesitantly, ¡°However, if we fail, Little Shi will be implicated. At that time, she¡¯ll have to bear the burden for us¡­¡±


    Sang Yan nodded in agreement. ¡°Indeed. Little Shi is still a child. It¡¯s too risky.¡±


    Jiang Feng shook his head. ¡°Little Shi will just be a figurehead. If anything happens to the company, we¡¯ll take care of it. Moreover, we can¡¯t find another suitable person. Second Aunt has a lot on her plate. She¡¯ll definitely worry every day if we put the company under her name. We can¡¯t make her worry. Chengyuan is still in the military far away. So we can¡¯t use him either. Little Shi is the most suitable candidate for now.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle pursed his lips and thought about it for a moment before he said, ¡°That¡¯s true. Then, let¡¯s register it under Little Shi¡¯s name. If there¡¯s anything, we¡¯ll take care of it.¡±


    Sang Yan nodded immediately. ¡°Since my employer has said so, I can only support my employer¡¯s decision.¡±


    ¡°Then, it¡¯s a deal,¡± Jiang Feng said with a nod.


    Now that they had gotten this out of the way, they could proceed to the next step. He would need a lot of money to obtain the plot of land. He would have to go to Cinda Financial to check on his funds and check how much he could invest. When the subway line was announced, he would have to close the net.


    Jiang Feng did not know who owned the plot of land now. The rumors in circulation now were unfavorable to the plot of land now so the owner was likely in a hurry to sell it. Once he found the owner, he was confident he would be able to buy it. As long as he advanced step by step, he would have a high chance of competing with Luo Yuchang later.


    With this thought in mind, Jiang Feng rose to his feet.


    Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle hurriedly rose to his feet as well and asked, ¡°Little Feng, aren¡¯t you going to stay for a meal?¡±


    ¡°No, Second Uncle. I still have things to attend to,¡± Jiang Feng said as he shook his head, ¡°I¡¯ll leave the registration and preparation of the new company to both of you.¡±


    The duo nodded in response.

 Chapter 80 - 80 Preparing the Funds

    80 Preparing the Funds


    Jiang Feng drove to Cinda Financial. When he arrived, the employees were just about to go for lunch. When they saw him, their eyes lit up, and they quickly returned and surrounded him, fighting to chat with him.


    ¡°President Jiang, have you eaten? I¡¯m going to buy lunch. Do you want something?¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, I can help you buy lunch. It doesn¡¯t matter if it¡¯s very far. It¡¯s an honor being able to buy food for you.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, choose me! I¡¯ve watched a lot of food live streams so I know a lot about delicious food. I dare not claim to be the best, but I¡¯m sure I can satisfy you!¡±


    Jiang Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard his employees¡¯ words. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll eat later. I¡¯m in a rush now so all of you can go and do what you need to do. Don¡¯t worry about me. Thank you.¡±


    Upon hearing these words, the employees wilted immediately.


    ¡°Then, President Jiang, let¡¯s chat again when you¡¯re not busy. You can get busy. Don¡¯t mind us.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°Everyone, thank you for your hard work.¡±


    ¡­


    When Jiang Feng finally entered the office, Zhang Qidong, Song Yaozhong, and Lin Miaoxue were gathered in front of the computer, and their expressions were very solemn as they discussed something.


    The sound of the opening caught their attention, and they instinctively turned to look at the door. When they saw it was Jiang Feng, Zhang Qidong was the first to stand up.


    ¡°President Jiang, you didn¡¯t tell me you were coming. I would¡¯ve come out to receive you,¡± Zhang Qidong said as he walked to the cabinet at the side and brought out the tea leaves before brewing them.


    Song Yaozhong reacted quickly as well. He hurriedly prepared the snacks as he asked knowingly, ¡°President Jiang, did you come to find out about the situation on Luo Yuchang¡¯s side?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue wanted to both laugh and cry when she saw the duo¡¯s actions and enthusiasm. It was as though they had been drugged by Jiang Feng. Their speed was as fast as a rocket. Usually, the duo was mature and steady, but as soon as Jiang Feng arrived, they changed immediately. It was really too strange. She was still very curious about what Jiang Feng had done to make the duo so enthusiastic.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s woman¡¯s intuition told her that Jiang Feng was going to have great achievements in the future. She, along with Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong, was looking forward to what Jiang Feng was going to do next. Since he had surprised them once, he could surprise them again. Perhaps, he had already decided on the company¡¯s next action.


    Jiang Feng waved his hand, feeling slightly embarrassed. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite. Please take a seat.¡±


    Every time Jiang Feng came, not only were the employees enthusiastic, but Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were very enthusiastic as well. The duo looked at him as though he was a national treasure. It was truly too exaggerated. He was not God, after all.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong nodded and sat down.


    Lin Miaoxue walked over and took a seat as well.


    ¡°President Jiang, do you already have a plan?¡± Zhang Qidong asked, feeling very excited. He could almost imagine Cinda Financial¡¯s bright future now. With Jiang Feng, nothing could go wrong.


    Jiang Feng thought for a moment before he asked, ¡°How much funds does our company have now?¡±


    Zhang Qidong was stunned by this question. He instinctively looked at Song Yaozhong.


    Song Yaozhong quickly said, ¡°We¡¯ve spent money recently on the operation cost of the company. Now, we have about 500 million.¡±


    Jiang Feng thought about it for a moment. 500 million should be enough for him to buy the plot of land. However, he did not know how Luo Yuchang¡¯s situation was. If he was one step behind Luo Yuchang, then what he was doing would be meaningless. Then, he said seriously, ¡°Alright. Prepare the funds that can be used. I need them.¡±


    The trio was stunned.


    ¡°What do you plan to do?¡±


    Clearly, Jiang Feng had big plans since he wanted all the funds available. However, was it not risky to use all the funds? The company would be in the red if something went wrong. At that time, the company would be finished.


    Nonetheless, Song Yaozhong still said, ¡°I¡¯ll get on it immediately.¡±


    Song Yangzhong quickly went to the finance department and transferred the funds.


    At the same time, Zhang Qidong could not help but ask, ¡°President Jiang, what do you plan to do with so much money?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯ll know soon enough,¡± Jiang Feng replied with a mysterious smile.


    Lin Miaoxue was slightly puzzled. She looked at Jiang Feng but did not ask further. She only said, ¡°You came at the right time. I have some new discoveries that I wish to discuss with everyone.¡±


    ¡°Alright,¡± Jiang Feng said as his eyes flashed with a hint of admiration.


    Lin Miaoxue truly lived up to Jiang Feng¡¯s expectations. She was focused, 100% dedicated to her work, swift, and decisive. She kept her personal and work affairs separated very well, and she was also very perceptive. No wonder she was hired by Kerry Financial Company and became a team leader at such a young age.


    Jiang Feng was determined to pay more attention to talents in the future. It would make things a lot easier for him if he had talented people working for him.


    Zhang Qidong was about to speak when Song Yaozhong returned. ¡°President Jiang, everything¡¯s ready. You just need to transfer the money from the main account.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. He sat in front of the computer and transferred the money from the main account.


    At the same time, Zhang Qidong scratched his head and asked curiously, ¡°President Jiang, what project do you plan to invest in?¡±


    Jiang Feng could not help but feel uneasy when he thought about Luo Yuchang. He said vaguely, ¡°I don¡¯t know if it¡¯ll succeed.¡± Then, he asked, ¡°How¡¯s Luo Yuchang¡¯s situation now?¡±


    Jiang Feng had only come up with a plan after a few days. He had no idea what Luo Yuchang had been up to during this time. If Luo Yuchang had already taken action, then his actions were tantamount to burning everything to the ground. It would be hopeless. It would be difficult for him to buy Kerry Financial Company.


    Lin Miaoxue moved over with a tablet in hand before placing the tablet in front of Jiang Feng. It displayed the areas of Luo Yuchang¡¯s investment.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, have a look. Luo Yuchang is now attacking the stock market,¡± Lin Miaoxue said as she pointed at the yellow area on the screen, ¡°Recently, Kerry has been causing trouble on the stock market. He¡¯s been buying and selling stocks continuously. They¡¯re all short-term operations. At this time, I¡¯m not sure which one he¡¯ll focus on. However, he¡¯s buying more stocks from Jingrui Technology, Baijiu Technology, and Meiyuan Company.¡±


    ¡°I had a look as well. Jingrui is in a good position and has been showing an upward trend. If this continues, Kerry will make a lot of money. I estimate it¡¯s in the hundreds of millions at least,¡± Zhang Qidong said, slightly worried. The more money Luo Yuchang made, the more disadvantageous it would be for Cinda Financial. The difference between them would be like heaven and earth. They would be like a piece of meat while Luo Yuchang was like a tiger. No, perhaps, they would be like microorganisms. He really did not wish for the company to fall.


    Zhang Qidong still did not know what Jiang Feng was going to invest in next. He really could not figure out what kind of investment would be able to yield such a high return in such a short time.


    Song Yaozhong, who was sitting next to Zhang Qidong, felt the pressure as well.


    Luo Yuchang was like a tower that simply refused to fall. Initially, he had spent a lot of money to obtain Cinda Financial but failed. However, it did not seem to affect him at all as he quickly found a way to make money. It felt like no one would be able to deal with him.


    If it were Cinda Financial, let alone recovering and obtaining excess funds, they might not even be able to make up for the funds that were used. They simply did not have the capital to fight against Luo Yuchang.

 Chapter 81 - 81 A Problem With Time

    81 A Problem With Time


    Lin Miaoxue furrowed her brows.


    Although Luo Yuchang had many insidious methods, there was no denying that he was quite capable. Just based on how he had recovered the funds was enough to show his capabilities. Not many investors could obtain such a large amount of money in such a short time like him.


    Moreover, there was very little known information on the market now so there was a small risk of losing money. They simply could not compare to Luo Yuchang¡¯s speed of making money at all.


    Although their capital was decent, they still needed to gather a lot of funds by investing in many projects. However, to minimize the risk, it was better for them to invest in stable and less risky projects. Alas, such projects would take a long time for them to see the returns. By the time they made money, Luo Yuchang would have already made his move. At that time, not only would they be unable to acquire Kerry Financial Company, but they would also face a crisis. It would be considered good if they were not annexed by Kerry Financial Company.


    ¡°What do all of you think about Jingrui Technology¡¯s recent trend?¡± Jiang Feng asked as he calmly looked at the stock chart.


    The stock chart was very strange. The other stocks were far behind Jingrui Technology. Jingrui Technology had been rising rapidly and exaggeratedly. In contrast, the other stocks had very little change or had very huge ups and downs just like a rollercoaster. If it were an ordinary person, he or she might think Jingrui Technology was the most profitable one and that the stocks would continue to rise. As such, he or she would spend even more money to buy the stocks of Jingrui Technology. However, it was too easy. Was it really that easy to earn money?


    Song Yaozhong took a look and speculated out loud, ¡°I think it¡¯ll continue to rise. There might be a drop in the middle, but in general, I think it¡¯ll continue to rise.¡±


    Zhang Qidong said, ¡°On the contrary, I think it¡¯ll fall hard later and never rise again. I think Luo Yuchang will sell these stocks in a few days. Many people are interested in Jingrui now. If someone sells the stocks, many people will rush forward and buy them. There¡¯s no doubt that Luo Yuchang must have bought a lot. When the time comes, he¡¯ll definitely make a lot of money.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue thought differently. ¡°I think this is the result of the manipulation by the Zhuang family. I¡¯m afraid that Luo Yuchang has a close relationship with the Zhuang family. When the time comes, the stocks will definitely be profitable, but there¡¯ll be many twists and turns in the middle. This is only a temporary period of calm.¡±


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, no matter what, Luo Yuchant will still earn quite a lot of money. I¡¯m afraid our chances of catching up in a short time are very small,¡± Zhang Qidong said anxiously, feeling very uneasy. He tried to persuade Jiang Feng again, ¡°President Jiang, why don¡¯t we give up on the offensive and focus on our defense instead? With that, we¡¯ll be able to protect the company to the greatest extent.¡±


    ¡°No need, I¡¯ve already found a way to gather funds. As long as we make a profit before Luo Yuchang takes action, we¡¯ll be able to fight against Kerry,¡± Jiang Feng said calmly.


    The trio was shocked by Jiang Feng¡¯s confidence again. What kind of investment could make a profit that would allow them to surpass Luo Yuchang? It seemed impossible to them. Not too long had passed, but Jiang Feng had already found a way? It was hard to believe. Moreover, even if Jiang Feng truly found a way, the investment definitely had high risks.


    The trio was rendered speechless for quite a while.


    In fact, Jiang Feng felt slightly nervous inwardly as well at this moment. He asked solemnly, ¡°What other moves did Luo Yuchang make recently? For example, has he sold these three stocks? Or is there any other action from him?¡±


    Jiang Feng could only infer which stock would be Luo Yuchang¡¯s next target based on Luo Yuchang¡¯s recent actions and when he closed his positions. With this, he could check the time and determine if he had enough time.


    Even if Jiang Feng tried his best, he still had to wait for the day the subway line was announced. Fighting Luo Yuchang would be easier the longer Luo Yuchang. He could only hope there was enough time.


    ¡°Initially, he didn¡¯t buy a lot of stocks from Jingrui Technology. However, he bought more later on, including stocks from Baijiu Technology and Meiyuan Company. There¡¯s nothing noteworthy apart from that,¡± Lin Miaoxue said as she moved to the next page.


    The chart was very clear. What Luo Yuchang did at what day and time were clearly recorded.


    Jiang Feng looked at it carefully, feeling satisfied with the chart. It was just as Lin Miaoxue said, they could only wait and see.


    Jiang Feng fell deep into his thoughts. Based on the chart, he agreed with Lin Miaoxue¡¯s analysis. Since Luo Yuchang invested so much in Jingrui Technology, Luo Yuchang must have already controlled Jingrui Technology. As such, Luo Yuchang would try to get more people to buy Jingrui Technology¡¯s stocks. It was also likely Luo Yuchang¡¯s doing that the stocks of Jingrui Technology were rising so quickly. However, he could not figure out why Luo Yuchang bought stocks from Baijiu Technology and Meiyuan Company as well. He wondered if it was a cover-up.


    However, Luo Yuchang was definitely trying to make as much money as possible. It was unlikely for him to close out his positions in a short time since he still needed to earn more money from more people. If this was the case, Jiang Feng would be able to complete his plan and thwart Luo Yuchang.


    ¡°President Jiang, Luo Yuchang might spend a long time on the stock market to obtain more funds. We have to quickly raise funds of our own as well during this time,¡± Lin Miaoxue said calmly, expressing the thought in her mind. Despite her calm exterior, she felt a little anxious. This window of time was a good opportunity for them, and they had to seize it. Moreover, this opportunity would also allow them to defeat Luo Yuchang. It was crucial for them to gather enough funds, and she was uncertain if Jiang Feng would have enough time.


    They could take the initiative now to attack and drain the blood of the blood-sucking Luo Yuchang. With that, they would have the initiative to buy Kerry Financial Company. At that time, Luo Yuchang might even have to negotiate with them, This was a turning point. Lin Miaoxue naturally did not want this chance, which came at the right time and place, to go to waste because they lacked funds.


    ¡°I understand.¡±Jiang Feng nodded, feeling a little anxious as well.


    Everything was ready now except for the funds. Perhaps, the impact would not be very big if they missed this chance. Despite feeling slightly anxious, he still wanted to seize this chance. He would let go of it. If he succeeded in seizing this chance, it might give him a pleasant surprise.

 Chapter 82 - 82 Keeping a Close Eye on Luo Yuchang

    82 Keeping a Close Eye on Luo Yuchang


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I add in my private funds? I can get more funds from my private investments,¡± Zhang Qidong asked after thinking for a moment. At the very least, this was also an opportunity where he could earn more. Although the situation felt precarious now, he felt like there was still a chance for a breakthrough. He also believed Jiang Feng would be able to end this crisis.


    ¡°I can do that as well. Although I¡¯ve invested my retirement funds in Pork. Inc., I still have some savings,¡± Song Yaozhong chimed in.


    Their only problem now was insufficient funds. Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were willing to invest whatever they had. They would invest more if they could. They believed that as long as they had a little more time, there was still hope.


    Despite the slight anxiety in his heart, Jiang Feng still said calmly, ¡°No need. Trust me. We¡¯ll make it in time¡­¡±


    In fact, Jiang Feng was not certain if they would be able to make it in time. Closing the positions and recovering funds were uncertain matters, to begin with. It seemed like he had to keep an eye on the company over the next few days. If they were any changes, he would be able to adapt accordingly.


    Upon hearing Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong¡¯s words, Lin Miaoxu felt moved. She said reassuringly, ¡°You have to trust President Jiang. Everything will take a turn for the better. Let¡¯s take a look again in a few days. Luo Yuchang might be moving exactly in the direction we predicted.¡±


    Despite her words, Lin Miaoxue was naturally still worried. She studied Jiang Feng¡¯s expression furtively. Jiang Feng¡¯s face was expressionless. He was calm.


    Lin Miaoxue felt like she did not understand Jiang Feng more and more. How could he be so calm when faced with such a fierce character like Luo Yuchang? Moreover, the probability of success was 10% while the probability of failure was 90%.


    In Lin Miaoxue¡¯s opinion, even if Jiang Feng was compensated again with a demolition fee or won the lottery, it was impossible for him to have more money than Luo Yuchang. Even if Jiang Feng truly had the means to obtain such a large amount of money, he still could not do it in such a short time. Who knew if Luo Yuchang would close his position tomorrow and get his money back? It was really troublesome.


    Jiang Feng stroked his chin as he looked at the chart and said, ¡°Keep a close watch for the next few days. We can¡¯t afford to make any mistakes. However, even if we miss out on the good opportunity, at most, we¡¯ll have to carefully deal with Kerry¡¯s attack in the future. At that time, the overall investment strategy will shrink. Although it will severely limit the speed of the company¡¯s development, it won¡¯t be to the point where the company will fall. As long as we don¡¯t make a mistake and give Kerry an opening to take advantage of, we should be fine.¡±


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    Zhang Qidong and the others nodded, feeling slightly relieved.


    Currently, Jiang Feng and the others already understood Luo Yuchang¡¯s movements. They were only short of understanding and estimating when Luo Yuchang would close out his positions.


    Jiang Feng remained optimistic. In the following days, he would sleep and eat at the company so he could keep an eye on Luo Yuchang at all times, waiting for Luo Yuchang¡¯s next move so he could better predict the deadline.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, after Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle and Sang Yan came to an agreement, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle returned home.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt looked at her husband curiously and asked, ¡°You seem to be in a very good mood. What happened? You left so early in the morning.¡±


    After Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle changed out of his shoes, he walked toward his wife and told her about starting a company, and Jiang Feng¡¯s plan.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt was shocked and did not speak for a long time. When she finally recovered her senses, she asked, ¡°Is Little Feng so good at making money?¡±


    Jiang Feng was so young, but he was very ambitious and good at making money. Now, he even wanted to enter the real estate industry. However, Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt did not think highly of the real estate industry. She had seen her husband¡¯s struggles with her own eyes, after all. Moreover, she knew her husband¡¯s character very well. Her husband had always been cautious. Alas, even such a person fell. She was worried Jiang Feng would walk the same path as her husband. She did not want Jiang Feng to become like her husband in his later years. She also could not figure out what Jiang Feng was thinking. What Jiang Feng was earning now was very good so why must he step into such dangerous territory?


    On the contrary, Jiang Shi, who was standing at the side, was so happy that she felt like jumping for joy. She laughed as she said happily, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the day I would become the boss of a company would come so fast!¡±


    If anyone dared to bully her in the future, she would definitely scare the other party to death.


    ¡°You child, why are you so happy when we¡¯ve yet to earn money? What if we lose money?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as he tried to calm down Jiang Shi¡¯s excitement.


    Jiang Shi chuckled and said, ¡°Dad, it doesn¡¯t matter if we make money or not. The title itself is very cool!¡±


    ¡°Little girl, you can¡¯t talk nonsense when you go out,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a hint of helplessness. At the same time, he naturally felt happy seeing how happy Jiang Shi was. His daughter had suffered a lot since he lost his company. Since that time, he had not seen his daughter laughing as much like she was laughing now. At this time, he finally realized that his nephew had likely thought about this as well. He had to admit his nephew was even more attentive than his own son.


    Jiang Shi stuck her tongue out before she said, ¡°Alright, alright. Dad, don¡¯t worry!¡±


    In contrast, Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt bit her lower lip as she reached out to hold her husband¡¯s arm.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle asked. Sensing that his wife¡¯s mood was not right, he signaled to his daughter with his eyes as he patted his wife¡¯s hand to comfort her.


    Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Jiang Shi also tactfully returned to her room.


    After Jiang Shi left, Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt sighed and said, ¡°Why are you so happy? Little Feng is following in your footsteps now. What if he becomes like you in the future?¡±


    ¡°Little Feng is still young so he has the time to fight for his future and explore his options. Moreover, the world is unpredictable. Little Feng might succeed where I failed. It¡¯s a good thing for young people to be ambitious,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said as he held his wife¡¯s hand.


    There were not many young people nowadays who were capable and ambitious. Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle did not regret agreeing to Jiang Feng. It could be considered an encouragement to Jiang Feng. If he had refused Jiang Feng, who knew if Jiang Feng would feel defeated? At that time, there was a chance Jiang Feng might be led astray.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt pursed her lip. Then, she shook her head, feeling helpless as she said, ¡°However, you also know how dangerous the real estate industry is. Little Feng has already earned so much money. It¡¯s enough for your brother and sister-in-law to spend their entire lives. What if a moment of greediness ruins everything?¡±


    ¡°What you said isn¡¯t right. It¡¯s a good thing that Little Feng is ambitious. It¡¯ll be bad if he becomes complacent instead. Don¡¯t worry, with me around, Little Feng will be fine,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, raising his right hand and making a solemn vow at the end, ¡°I swear that I¡¯ll do my best to help Little Feng, and Little Feng will definitely be fine.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt could not help but laugh. ¡°You¡¯re already so old, and yet you still use this kind of trick. In the past, you coaxed me in this manner, and now, you¡¯re still coaxing me like that.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle gently rested his wife¡¯s head on his shoulder and stroked her head as he said, ¡°When children grow up, they should be independent. We can¡¯t always try to protect them, and we have to let them do what they want. They all need to step into society. As for us, we only need to retire peacefully.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second aunt felt much at ease now. She nodded gently and said, ¡°It¡¯ll be hard on you. I hope you¡¯ll keep an eye on Little Feng. I don¡¯t want anything to happen to him.¡±


    ¡°I understand. I feel the same way that you do,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said with a smile.

 Chapter 83 - 83 Observing the Enemy’s Movements

    83 Observing the Enemy¡¯s Movements


    Over the next few days, Jiang Feng spent most of his time in front of the computer, carefully observing Luo Yuchang¡¯s movements. He woke up early and slept late every day, gradually growing exhausted.


    Lin Miaoxue felt distressed when she looked at Jiang Feng. She said, ¡°President Jiang, why don¡¯t you go and rest for a while? We¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, President Jiang. We¡¯ll report to you immediately if there¡¯s anything. We still have a lot of energy,¡± Zhang Qidong chimed in with a nod, ¡°We should take turns to rest. This way is better for everyone and ensures that everyone has energy.¡±


    Jiang Feng shook his head.


    Seeing Jiang Feng¡¯s determination, the other three no longer said anything and could only follow his lead.


    Not long after, Luo Yuchang finally made a move.


    Lin Miaoxue was pleasantly surprised and quickly reported to Jiang Feng. ¡°President Jiang, Luo Yuchang is starting to close out his positions!¡±


    Jiang Feng was surprised. ¡°So soon?¡±


    Jiang Feng found this hard to believe. He thought Luo Yuchang would take more time, but now, Luo Yuchang was already starting to close out his position.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong, who were observing from the side, were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the ground. They could not figure out why Luo Yuchang would close out his position so early. What was Luo Yuchang going to do next? It was too strange. Jingrui Technology did not fall at all; instead, it was still rising. Logically, he should keep his stocks. Why did he suddenly sell them?


    Jiang Feng walked over and took a look. He asked solemnly, ¡°What do you guys think?¡±


    Zhang Qidong scratched his head and said, ¡°Luo Yuchang¡¯s thoughts are hard to understand. Isn¡¯t Jingrui doing well now? Isn¡¯t it a loss for him to sell now?¡±


    The bar on the chart clearly showed that Jingrui Technology was on the rise. The price would increase even more in the future. If it were Zhang Qidong, he would definitely wait for another two days before selling. At that time, the profit would be even greater.


    However, it was impossible that Luo Yuchang, the boss of Kerry Financial Company, did not know this, and he would not make such a mistake. There had to be a reason for this. Currently, he was still trying to recover the money he lost and more. All his actions were aimed at that. As such, his current actions were baffling to others.


    Song Yaozhong said, perplexed, ¡®I don¡¯t understand what he¡¯s trying to do either. I don¡¯t know, but he¡¯s definitely going to make money from this.¡±


    At this time, Lin Miaoxue said softly, ¡°In fact, with Luo Yuchang¡¯s actions now, we can roughly see through his thoughts.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Jiang Feng asked with a hint of anticipation, wondering what she would say.


    Recently, Lin Miaoxue had hit the nail on the head regarding Luo Yuchang¡¯s matters. This time, it was likely to be the same.


    ¡°You see, Jingrui Technology¡¯s stocks have been rising. It¡¯s like a piece of fat meat, baiting a huge number of people. Luo Yuchang threw out this piece of fat meat to attract people,¡± Lin Miaoxue analyzed carefully, ¡°If I were Luo Yuchang, after attracting these people, I¡¯ll let Jingrui¡¯s price fall. I¡¯ll make it fall so low that people will have to sell at a very low price. When the time is right, I¡¯ll buy it back. The money needed to do that will only be a fraction of what I stand to earn. After that, I¡¯ll let Jingrui¡¯s price rise again. At that time, my profit will double.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°What you said makes sense.¡±


    ¡°It won¡¯t take long because Luo Yuchang is in a hurry to recover his money, but it won¡¯t be so fast either. Perhaps, it¡¯ll take him a week before he¡¯ll harvest his profits. Perhaps, it¡¯ll take a little longer, but it won¡¯t be much longer,¡± Lin Miaoxue said.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong could not help but exclaim in surprise when they heard Lin Miaoxue¡¯s logical analysis.


    ¡°As expected of someone whom President Jiang recruited. Miss Lin, your analysis is very reasonable. I didn¡¯t think of this at all¡­¡±


    ¡°No, no, it¡¯s just a wild speculation,¡± Lin Miaoxue said modestly.


    Jiang Feng was very gratified. Lin Miaoxue¡¯s mind was truly suited for short-term attacks. Fortunately, he managed to recruit her. Otherwise, she might have been snatched away.


    Since they had at least a week, they could still make it in time. With this, Jiang Feng did not have to keep a constant watch on Luo Yuchang. It was time now for him to speak to his uncle about the new company. After the matter of the land was settled, the battle would be a success, and he would be able to rest.


    At this time, Lin Miaoxue thought of something, and her eyes lit up. She said, ¡°President Jiang, perhaps, we can use Luo Yuchang¡¯s method to create trouble and profit from it.¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were once again pleasantly surprised. Lin Miaoxue¡¯s idea was very good. They thought that they would only deal with Luo Yuchang after gathering sufficient funds. They did not expect her to think deeper and suggest profiting off Luo Yuchang now.


    Zhang Qidong looked at the stock chart seriously as he asked, ¡°Then, should we start with Jingrui? Or Baijiu and Meiyuan?¡±


    At this time, Baijiu Technology¡¯s price had also increased, but the increase was small. It could not compare to Jingrui Technology at all. As for Meiyuan Company, there had been a slight decrease. These two companies seemed to be of no use at all. It seemed impossible to make money from them. They really did not know what Luo Yuchang was trying to do,


    Song Yaozhong said seriously, ¡°I think it¡¯s best to start with Jingrui. The other two can¡¯t compare to Jingrui. It¡¯s really hard to predict what¡¯s going to happen next.¡±


    ¡°No, what we¡¯re seeing might just be an illusion. In the next few days, Baijiu and Meiyuan might have huge ups and downs,¡± Lin Miaoxue said.


    ¡°Luo Yuchang has sold a lot of Baijiu Technology¡¯s stocks in the past few days. Perhaps, Baijiu will rise soon?¡± Song Yaozhong asked, perplexed.


    Luo Yuchang¡¯s actions were really difficult to figure out.


    Baijiu Technology and Meiyuan Company did not have any big movements at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jingrui Technology was the one that would make the most money. Logically speaking, Luo Yuchang should focus on Jingrui Technology. There was no reason for him to deceive people using Baijiu Technology and Meiyuan Company.


    Suddenly¡­


    ¡°President Jiang, look! Meiyuan¡¯s price is falling!¡±


    The line of the chart fell sharply and severely.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong grew even more puzzled. According to the previous analysis, it could be seen that Baijiu Technology and Meiyuan Company might not be a cover-up. Perhaps, Luo Yuchang was worried that Jingrui Technology might meet with an accident so he bought stable stocks as a guarantee. However, now that there was such a movement with Meiyuan Company, it was no longer easy to predict if it would make money or not.


    Jiang Feng looked over. Outwardly, he was calm, but his mind was racing at this moment.


    If Luo Yuchang was the main buyer of these stocks, he should be afraid to make a move. Perhaps, it was better to take a gamble and wait. No matter what, it seemed impossible to make the most profit. Indeed, his thoughts and actions were too strange.

 Chapter 84 - 84 Analysis and Speculation

    84 Analysis and Speculation


    ¡°President Jiang, should we just start with one of these three stocks? Right now, the only stable one seems to be Baijiu Technology. Perhaps, Baijiu¡¯s price will rise in the future,¡± Zhang Qidong said as he clicked on Baijiu Technology.


    The chart presented the recent situation of Baijiu Technology.


    On September 4th, the price variation of Baijiu Technology was -0.14%


    On September 20th, the price variation of Baijiu Technology was -1.01%


    On September 23rd, the price variation of Baijiu Technology was -1.32%


    On September 26th, the price variation of Baijiu Technology was -0.12%


    The repetitive pattern was rather confusing.


    Song Yanzhong said seriously, ¡°This is really confusing.¡±


    ¡°If this is the case, Luo Yuchang¡¯s liquidation time is too fast. I don¡¯t think many people bought Baijiu in the first place. If it were me, I¡¯d let this stock fall so more people would sell. Then, I¡¯ll let it increase greatly before cashing out,¡± Zhang Qidong said, still perplexed.


    There was no sign or news now that Baijiu Technology¡¯s price would increase greatly. This was inconsistent with Luo Yuchang¡¯s way of doing things. After all, with no news, there would be some people who would try to take advantage of the small increase or decrease to sell. Luo Yuchang, who was eager to make money now, would not let go of an opportunity to make money. As long as he spread some news, he would be able to get a huge return. If he was not a fool, he would not remain silent. However, he was not a fool, but he remained silent. What did it mean? Apart from that, he closed out his positions much earlier than expected. According to the trend of falling before rising, it was too early for him to make a move. Why did he move so early?


    ¡°Put Baijiu aside, there might be news about Jingrui and Meiyuan¡­¡± Lin Miaoxue said as he brought her phone out to check on the two stocks.


    ¡°Jingrui is the same as before. Everyone¡¯s very optimistic about Jingrui. There are countless comments on the Internet, and the majority thinks that Jingrui¡¯s price will continue to rise¡­¡±


    ¡°As for Meiyuan, many people thought it was very stable. It doesn¡¯t matter if they had to wait a little for the price to rise before selling¡­ However, people are starting to panic due to the recent change. Everyone wants to sell now.¡±


    ¡°Based on this situation, Luo Yuchang might begin to buy more of Meiyuan. Later, he¡¯ll make the price rise. With this, he¡¯ll earn a lot of money¡­¡±


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s eyes lit up upon hearing this analysis. ¡°President Jiang, then should we buy Meiyuan now or wait for it to go down the second time before buying? At that time, we can sell it before Luo Yuchang closes his position. We can still earn money. What do you think?¡±


    Making money from Luo Yuchang was tantamount to giving a show of strength to him. It could also reduce his profit. He would definitely be infuriated.


    Song Yaozhong nodded as he said, ¡°President Jiang, I think Zhang Qidong is right. I think Luo Yuchang¡¯s target all along is Meiyuan. Jingrui and Baijiu are just used to throw people off his scent¡­¡± Then, he added, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Luo Yuchang to be so shrewd. He¡¯s very meticulous and careful. He¡¯s afraid of accidents so he¡¯s trying to mislead people. We really have to be warier of him going forward¡­¡±


    Jiang Feng did not completely agree with Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong. ¡°Things aren¡¯t that simple. Perhaps, this is just what he wants to show on the surface. He¡¯s not so shallow¡­¡±


    To be able to build a company like Kerry Financial Company, Luo Yuchang definitely had to be skilled in confusing and misleading people. Cinda Financial was not the only one keeping an eye on Kerry Financial Company; there must be other companies that were paying attention to Kerry Financial Company and Luo Yuchang as well. Moreover, these companies were on par with Kerry Financial Company. With so many wolves watching him, Luo Yuchang would definitely be very careful.


    Hence, Jiang Feng could not say for sure that Luo Yuchang¡¯s main target was Meiyuan Company.


    ¡°I think President Jiang is right. Luo Yuchang is very cunning. It¡¯ll be rash for us to buy Meiyuan now,¡± Lin Miaoxue said as she shook her head, ¡°Leave everything aside, and look at this. The response is very good, but what¡¯s very strange is that on the afternoon of the 14th, it suddenly dropped -2.14%. There¡¯s a pattern here in the following days¡­¡±


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s expression was very serious as she looked at the chart.


    Upon hearing this, the other three stepped forward to have a look at the tablet. It was indeed as Lin Miaoxue had said.


    ¡°Indeed, this is abnormal. It¡¯s like someone¡¯s trying to sabotage the situation,¡± Zhang Qidong said as his eyes lit up. At this moment, he felt like he was seeing Lin Miaoxue in a new light. He did not notice this detail at all.


    ¡°To be able to sabotage the situation, there must be a lot of funds. There¡¯s a lot of money entering the market, and the person who sabotaged the situation is likely Luo Yuchang,¡± Jiang Feng said before he looked at Lin Miaoxue. She had found details that they overlooked.


    ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, did the other stocks also have the same situation? Based on these irregularities, we should be able to roughly determine Luo Yuchang¡¯s target,¡± Lin Miaoxue said with a smile as she clicked on the tablet again.


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Miss Lin is right! Based on the strange news about Jingrui, we can see that Luo Yuchang is trying to earn the money of retail investors. The biggest characteristic of retail investors is that they don¡¯t really pay attention to news about the market. They¡¯ll invest when they have the money and act according to the fluctuations.¡±


    Realization dawned on Song Yaozhong. He said, ¡°In that case, if we make deductions from these stocks that have violated the rules, we can more accurately guess Luo Yuchang¡¯s target.¡±


    At this time, Song Yaozhong was looking at Lin Miaoxue with bright eyes. If this went on, with Lin Miaoxue on their side, perhaps, they would even be able to take down two or three Luo Yu Chang.


    Lin Miaoxue clicked on the tablet, revealing the stock situation of Commonwealth Bank. Then, she said, ¡°I¡¯ve looked at this earlier. President Jiang, please have a look. On the 13th last month, it suddenly rose by 1.04%. The market news about this stock is mixed. On the 18th last month, it fell, but it didn¡¯t reach the point. After that, it rose again. It seems like it¡¯s trying to confuse people.¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong leaned over to have a look.


    ¡°Could it be that Luo Yuchang¡¯s target is the bank? With this, it does seem like he¡¯s planning something.¡±


    Zhang Qidong looked at Jingrui Technology again before he said, ¡°From the looks of it now, Jingrui can¡¯t make much money compared to the bank.¡±


    However, Lin Miaoxue shook her head and said, ¡°No, this stock doesn¡¯t seem to be Luo Yuchang¡¯s target.¡±

 Chapter 85 - 85 Earning 20 Million

    85 Earning 20 Million


    Song Yaozhong remained silent, but his eyes were shining. He wanted nothing more than to get close to the three people in front of him so he could listen to them carefully. There were so many details concerning one stock alone.


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s words were astonishing. They were just as shocking as Jiang Feng¡¯s previous words and actions. In the future, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s treatment at Cinda Financial was definitely going to be good. While they paid attention to the three stocks, she had thought ahead of them and speculated that those three stocks were cover-ups. This opened up a new world for them. Jiang Feng was also like a dragon among men. His foresight was incomparable. As expected, as the saying went, ¡®birds of a feather flock together¡¯.


    Song Yaozhong hoped to spend more time with Jiang Feng and Lin Miaoxue, feeling certain that he would gain a lot of knowledge by doing so. Hence, he was listening very carefully.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Qidong was stunned by Lin Miaoxue¡¯s words. Then, an inexplicable sense of anticipation and delight rose in his heart as he asked, ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    !!


    Jiang Feng looked at Lin Miaoxue as well, waiting to listen to her explanation. He was certain that she must have studied a lot of stocks before this. In fact, it was likely she had already figured out which stock Luo Yuchang was targeting. It was a feat considering everything they had known so far was based on gossip and what Luo Yuchang wanted people to know. Moreover, who knew if Luo Yuchang bought other stocks as well?


    ¡°The Commonwealth Bank is large. I know Luo Yuchang. He won¡¯t choose such a large company,¡± Lin Miaoxue said after pursing her lips, ¡°It¡¯s all a trick, and we¡¯re almost fooled. Based on Luo Yuchang¡¯s personality, it doesn¡¯t make sense at all.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re right. Then, based on what you said, Luo Yuchang should¡¯ve chosen a small company that¡¯s easy to manipulate¡­¡± Zhang Qidong said, filled with admiration for Lin Miaoxue.


    Lin Miaoxue was very serious and meticulous about her work. She was able to discover many details. Perhaps, they would discover the details as well, but they definitely would not discover it as fast as she did. They would have to analyze and consider it carefully before coming to a conclusion.


    Zhang Qidong was not good at short-term investments like this. He was better at long-term investments. He nodded inwardly, thinking that Jiang Feng was truly smart and knew just the right people to hire. By hiring Lin Miaoxue, Jiang Feng made up for this shortcoming. In comparison, when he was running Cinda Financial, the people he hired were not as talented. Otherwise, there would not be a few rotten apples in the company at that time. Once again, he felt that the threat of bankruptcy he faced previously was a blessing in disguise. With Jiang Feng, he believed Cinda Financial would grow and become a leading company. The current problem they were facing was nothing, and this tough time would pass.


    Zhang Qidong was filled with energy as he asked, ¡°President Jiang, what do you think?¡±


    ¡°The analysis makes sense. Let¡¯s pay attention to those small companies with abnormal fluctuations. We¡¯ll screen them one by one. I¡¯m sure we¡¯ll find something new,¡± Jiang Feng said as he clicked on the tablet, looking at the other stocks and analyzing them.


    Apart from Jingrui Technology, Baijiu Technology, Meiyuan Company, and the Commonwealth Bank, there were also Evergreen Technology, Ivory Horizon Inc., Huacheng Company, and Xi¡¯an Inc..


    Zhang Qidong looked at Huacheng Company and speculated, ¡°The scale of Huacheng Company fits the criteria. The company is thriving and won¡¯t go out of business for a few years at least. It¡¯s also different from what we know from the market news. However, I can¡¯t completely see through it¡­¡±


    Song Yaozhong furrowed his brows as he said, ¡°What about Xi¡¯an Inc.? Its price suddenly rose on the 28th of last month, reaching a new high before it fell rapidly. It fell for a few days in a row.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue disagreed with the duo. ¡°The fluctuations of Huacheng are too small, and the fluctuations of Xi¡¯an are too big. It¡¯s not suitable to make profits in a short time.¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong frowned in confusion. The fluctuations were too big and too small? Then, what kind of fluctuations was she looking for?


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then there are only two left¡­¡±


    At this moment, Lin Miaoxue¡¯s eyes lit up as she said, ¡°I think now is a good time! President Jiang, can you allow me to do something?¡±


    The other three people were startled.


    Jiang Feng asked, puzzled, ¡°What is it?¡±


    ¡°I promise that we¡¯ll make money. President Jiang, we¡¯re pressed for time. I¡¯ll tell you once I¡¯m done. Is that okay?¡± Lin Miaoxue said solemnly.


    Jiang Feng trusted Lin Miaoxue, hence, he nodded. At the same time, he was very curious. What did Lin Miaoxue plan to do? What could she do to make profits so quickly? Moreover, she was so confident and decisive.


    Needless to say, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were stunned and confused as well. They had decades of experience, but they did not dare to say that they would definitely be able to make profits like Lin Miaoxue did. They wondered why she was so confident. This really aroused their curiosity.


    After obtaining Jiang Feng¡¯s approval, Lin Miaoxue did not do anything. Instead, she only stared at the screen of the tablet as though she was waiting for something.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong held their breaths as they waited for Lin Miaoxue to make a move.


    Meanwhile, Jiang Feng looked at Lin Miaoxue curiously.


    They waited until it was almost noon when Lin Miaoxue suddenly asked, ¡°President Jiang, I need ten million. Can I use the company¡¯s funds?¡±


    Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow before he nodded. ¡°Sure.¡±


    Lin Miaoxue used the funds to buy stocks of Evergreen Technology.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were surprised by her decision.


    ¡°Miss Lin, Evergreen Technology isn¡¯t making any money, right? Although the fluctuations are quite big, it¡¯s not comparable to Xi¡¯an Inc.. Its price fell this month, but the downward trend is clearly smaller than its upward trend last month,¡± Zhang Qidong said as he shook his head inwardly. It seemed like he had overestimated Lin Miaoxue. Alas, although she was very capable, she was still too young. Based on the situation now, he felt like the ten million was going to be lost for nothing.


    Lin Miaoxue did not explain. She only smiled mysteriously and said, ¡°Just wait.¡±


    Zhang Qidong no longer asked any questions. He only looked at Evergreen Technology¡¯s chart on the tablet, wondering if the stock would really bring them good luck.


    In the afternoon, Lin Miaoxue checked the time before she sold the stocks of Evergreen Technology.


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong, who originally did not think much of Lin Miaoxue¡¯s actions, were dumbfounded. In just a short time, Evergreen Technology¡¯s price had risen. Moreover, it had risen very quickly. When Lin Miaoxue sold the stock, she had earned twenty million.


    ¡°You¡­ How did you see through it?¡± Zhang Qidong asked as he looked at Lin Miaoxue incredulously.


    Song Yaozhong looked at Lin Miaoxue with widened eyes as well.


    On the contrary, Jiang Feng was very calm. At the same time, a faint smile could be seen on his face.


    ¡®As expected, Lin Miaoxue is really outstanding.¡¯

 Chapter 86 - 86 Choosing a Plot of Land to Buy

    86 Choosing a Plot of Land to Buy


    Lin Miaoxue explained seriously, ¡°Since we¡¯re going to make a profit, we can¡¯t let people¡¯s emotions fluctuate too much. First, Evergreen Technology is a tech company. The prices of tech companies are prone to fluctuations due to scientific research information. It also increases the confidence of the people who buy the stocks.¡±


    ¡°Second, as you can see, in the beginning, Evergreen Technology¡¯s fluctuations were very normal ups and downs. However, on the 14th of last month, it suddenly fell by 3.15% before quickly rising by 2.04%. Then, it fell again for a few days in a row, but it did not fall too much.¡±


    ¡°Based on my understanding of Kerry Financial Company, this was a low-opening sale to make up for their position. As expected, after a few days, its price rose again.¡±


    ¡°This is obviously part of Luo Yuchang¡¯s plan. After that, Evergreen Technology¡¯s price began to fall again. From what I can see, Luo Yuchang was selling at a high price and drawing at a low price. For this reason, very few people are willing to buy this stock, However, it¡¯s also because of this that the chips are concentrated. The company¡¯s performance will gradually improve, and the stock price will also rise. Hence, I bought the stocks and made 20 million.¡±


    !!


    ¡°So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± Song Yaozhong nodded over and over again. He listened very attentively, worried that he might miss even the slightest detail.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with admiration. He had truly chosen the right person. Lin Miaoxue was knowledgeable, meticulous, and decisive. She acted quickly at the crucial moment, seizing the opportunity to help the company make profits. She was truly a genius in investment. She was bold and resourceful. If it were anyone else, they would not have been as decisive and confident as she was. After all, there was always a small probability that Evergreen Technology was not the right choice.


    Zhang Qidong remained silent, and his eyes brimmed with surprise. What kind of employee was Lin Miaoxue? He had seen and hired many people in the company, but none of them were capable like her. As expected of the extraordinary Jiang Feng. The people around Jiang Feng were outstanding like him. Perhaps, the people around Jiang Feng were influenced by him as well.


    Not to mention the employees, even Zhang Qidong did not have such awareness and ability. It was no wonder that Jiang Feng brought Lin Miaoxue to the company. She was like a life-saving straw. If it were him, he would have spent a lot of money to recruit such a person. No wonder Kerry Financial Company was a leading company when its staff members were so outstanding.


    With all these thoughts in mind, Zhang Qidong looked at Lin Miaoxue with a hint of admiration in his eyes.


    Seeing the expressions of admiration on Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong¡¯s faces, Lin Miaoxue said modestly, ¡°In fact, I wasn¡¯t 100% sure it was Evergreen Technology. I was also lucky to guess correctly and to earn 20 million.¡±


    Jiang Feng felt that with Lin Miaoxue around, he was not needed at the company. He began to think of his second uncle, wondering how his second uncle was doing.


    Coincidentally, Jiang Feng¡¯s phone began to ring at this time. He smiled when he saw that it was his second uncle calling him. Was this the telepathic connection between an uncle and his nephew?


    As soon as Jiang Feng answered the call, he heard his second uncle¡¯s cheerful voice.


    ¡°Little Feng, we¡¯ve already registered the company.¡±


    ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll come and see you now,¡± Jiang Feng replied. Then, he looked at Zhang Qidong and the other two before he said, ¡°All of you continue to keep an eye on Luo Yuchang¡¯s movements. I¡¯ll come back later.¡±


    Zhang Qidong patted his chest and said confidently, ¡°Alright, President Jiang, go ahead. Don¡¯t worry. Leave this to us!¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong had experience on their side, and they also had the dark horse, Lin Miaoxue. With this, Zhang Qidong was confident about keeping an eye on Luo Yuchang.


    Subsequently, Jiang Feng left the office.


    As soon as the employees saw Jiang Feng, they became enthusiastic again.


    ¡°President Jiang, are you leaving? Don¡¯t you want to stay a little longer? I hope we can see you every day!¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, my parents bought a few boxes of expensive chocolates from abroad. Do you want some? They¡¯re very delicious! Trust me, I know a lot about chocolates!¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, you didn¡¯t rest much over the past few days! You should go back and have a good sleep¡±


    Jiang Feng smiled and nodded at everyone before leaving.


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng drove from the company to his second uncle¡¯s house. It did not take long for his second uncle to open the door after he rang the doorbell.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s face was filled with joy when he saw Jiang Feng.


    Seeing that only his second uncle and Sang Yan were around, Jiang Feng asked curiously, ¡°Second Uncle, where¡¯s Second Aunt and Little Shi?¡±


    ¡°They went out to have fun. Little Feng, take a seat,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said as he patted the seat next to him.


    ¡°Okay,¡± Jiang Feng said with a smile as he took a seat. When he saw his second uncle brewing tea, he quickly said, ¡°Second Uncle, I don¡¯t need tea. You don¡¯t have trouble yourself.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s not troublesome to brew tea at all,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said, insisting on brewing tea. After pouring a cup of tea for Jiang Feng, he said directly, ¡°Now that we have a company, what should we do next?¡±


    Jiang Feng thought about it for a moment before he said, ¡°Buy the land first. What is the specific distribution of the land now?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle explained slowly, ¡°First, some plots of land belong to the country, and some have been bought. They¡¯re all divided into three regions: north, south, and the center.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle brought a piece of paper out and began to roughly sketch a map and mark the regions. He said, ¡°The northern region occupies a large area. The plots, Guoqiao B41, Jingdou H21, and Baiming Zhuque A503-0096, are currently being tendered. They¡¯re not bad. They¡¯re close to a middle school, a market, the subway line 5, and so on. However, the evaluation criteria for the tender are relatively high. I¡¯m afraid we won¡¯t be able to snatch the best plot of land. There are at least three big shots aiming for the plots of land as well. It¡¯s very easy for us to lose everything if we try to compete with them.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle used a different-colored pen to draw a circle around the central region. Then, he said, ¡°There are many popular plots of land in the central region. The most popular one is Haidian A12-39 in Ziyuan District, which is close to the center of the business district. Needless to say, many big shots were fighting over it. When it was listed, it stirred up a commotion on the Internet. When the bidding was going on, it caused quite a huge sensation as well. In the end, it was bought by Cosmos International Company.¡±


    ¡°I have some understanding of Cosmos International Company. It has many branches, and they have businesses in various industries. They¡¯re not lacking funds. It¡¯s said that the boss is a second-generation wealthy man. It¡¯s impossible to obtain this plot of land from them.¡±


    Then, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle pointed at the southern region with his pen and said, ¡°As for the southern region, the plot, Eternal F2-14, is up for sale. It¡¯s already been listed.¡±

 Chapter 87 - 87 I Want This Plot of Land

    87 I Want This Plot of Land


    Sang Yan frowned and said, ¡°I heard that the seller is eccentric and isn¡¯t easy to negotiate with. This plot of land is still being listed and is not very popular. We can wait for other listings.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle pointed at another area. ¡°What about this one? New Street 1-2. It¡¯s in a relatively remote place in the central region¡¯s Zhongyuan District. This plot of land is considered a waste. There¡¯s more bad news than good news on the Internet about it. I heard that the company is in a rush to sell it. We can take a gamble and wait for it.¡±


    Sang Yan chimed in, ¡°I heard about this plot of land as well. Despite the cons, there¡¯s a residential area nearby. The subway line might pass through this place. We can indeed take a gamble.¡±


    Then, Sang Yan looked at Jiang Feng and asked, ¡°Little Feng, do you have any ideas?¡±


    !!


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle became spirited upon hearing this. He asked, ¡°That¡¯s right. Do you have any plots of land you feel optimistic about? Otherwise, we can continue to discuss which plot of land to buy first.¡±


    ¡°Now that the subway line is about to be announced, this is our opportunity. However, it¡¯s also because of this, that everyone¡¯s waiting for the announcement. They won¡¯t sell easily unless their finances are in dire straits,¡± Sang Yan said, looking troubled.


    It was not a good time to buy land now. If there were still a long time to go before the subway line announcement, it would have been easier to buy the land they wanted. However, as it was now, the owners of the land definitely would not be too willing to sell.


    ¡°There¡¯s always a solution to every problem. We don¡¯t have to buy land with good terrain. We can choose a remote piece of land. This way, we¡¯ll have more advantages during the negotiation. After all, plots of land in remote areas carry high risks as well. As such, owners will be more willing to sell,¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle said. The gloomy atmosphere from before was gone.


    Sang Yan nodded with a solemn expression. He understood the current situation very well. The situation was not good, and it was a difficult time to choose a good plot of land. They had to be very careful during the selection.


    Jiang Feng remained noncommittal. He looked at the map, and after pondering for a moment, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve already looked at the plot of land, and I have an understanding of the situation.¡± Then, he pointed at an area and said, ¡°Like I said before, let¡¯s take this plot, Dongjiang F12.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle and Sang Yan were stunned when they saw the land that Jiang Feng pointed at. This was because out of so many plots of land, Jiang Feng had chosen the one that no one wanted.


    The one good thing about this plot of land was that no one wanted it so they did not have to worry about being unable to buy it. However, it also meant that it was not profitable. It was obvious that they would lose money if they bought this plot of land. If Jiang Feng bought this plot of land, it was tantamount to jumping into a fire pit. Once he bought this plot of land, it would be difficult to sell it. Was it not asking for trouble? Rumors were rampant in the industry about the plot of land being in an undesirable location. There was nothing special about it at all. Some experts in the industry had even stepped forward to say that there was zero possibility of making money from this plot of land.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle and Sang Yan were perplexed.


    Jiang Feng had just entered the real estate industry. As such, he should have brushed up on his knowledge and heard the news in the industry. Why did he choose this piece of land, and what was he trying to do? If it were them, they would rather choose any other piece of land than this one. This plot of land was hopeless and useless. Why did this piece of land catch Jiang Feng¡¯s attention?


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle stammered, still in shock, ¡°Little Feng, a-are you sure?¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle felt that Jiang Feng had lost his mind.


    Jiang Feng naturally understood the duo¡¯s concerns. However, he said resolutely, ¡°Second Uncle, I¡¯m sure.¡±


    Jiang Feng had researched this plot of land. Indeed, there were many negative opinions about it. As such, it was very easy to buy this plot of land. He would have the upper hand when negotiating with the owner. Perhaps, he did not even need to convince the owner to sell it.


    Sang Yan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, ¡°Little Feng, this plot of land is indeed easy to buy. However, it won¡¯t make you any money. The general public isn¡¯t optimistic about this plot of land at all. That aside, just look at the area. No matter from which angle you look at it, the subway line definitely won¡¯t pass through this place.¡±


    Sang Yan continued to say, ¡°There¡¯s an underground water system nearby. If the subway line runs through the area, it might affect the underground water system. The government definitely won¡¯t allow the subway line to pass through this place. It¡¯ll be for naught if we buy this land.¡±


    At the same time, Sang Yan sighed inwardly. ¡®This child is too impulsive. He didn¡¯t think things through. There¡¯s a reason why so many people think the plot of land is bad. If he insists on buying it, I¡¯m afraid he¡¯s going to suffer a great loss for sure.¡¯


    Nonetheless, Sang Yan and Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle did not doubt Jiang Feng¡¯s capability, and they were not worried that he would be led astray. They would just have to guide him more in the future. They thought that he was young and bold. It was not a bad thing to be bold and ambitious. Moreover, they did not doubt his capability. After all, he had earned quite a lot of money. Perhaps, he might give them a pleasant surprise in the future.


    Jiang Feng looked at the duo and said, brimming with confidence, ¡°Uncle Sang Yan, Second Uncle, you have to trust me. This is the place. I don¡¯t think I¡¯m making a mistake.¡±


    Jiang Feng¡¯s idea was very simple. His funds were too little. Compared to those big shots, his funds were just like a drop in the bucket. He could not afford to buy those plots of land with good terrains and locations that were in high demand, and he could not compete with those big shots. He did not have billions to spare now. Hence, he did not plan to obtain those plots of land at all. His plan was to obtain a plot of land that would be the exit of one of the subway stations.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle fell into a daze as he looked at Jiang Feng and recalled memories of his youth. Back then, when he was in his twenties, he was also like Jiang Feng. He was filled with confidence and had high spirits. He was bold due to his youth. He did not care about what others said, and he only believed in his own knowledge. His actions became a topic for many people at that time. He even boldly refuted his boss¡¯ opinion and said that his boss was wrong. Although he faced many obstacles and surprises, there were many times when his decisions were proven right as well. Young people needed experience to grow. Too much interference would only hinder young people¡¯s growth. Sometimes, what young people needed was support.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle thought that perhaps he should support Jiang Feng. After all, he was old now, and many of his ideas and opinions were outdated. He could only judge based on his past experience. Moreover, news and information about this plot of land were so bad that the owner was likely to be in a hurry to sell it. It was impossible for the owner to raise the price. At most, they would lose a little money; it was not a big deal to lose that amount of money in exchange for Jiang Feng¡¯s growth and experience.


    After giving more thought to it, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle began to think buying this plot of land was rather beneficial. The plot of land was unpopular so they would not lose much money. Moreover, their funds were not borrowed.


    Sang Yan was still stunned. He did not expect the young man in front of him to be so confident. Despite the public opinion, Jiang Feng still stood firmly by his opinion. He wondered what gave Jiang Feng the confidence to be so determined.


    Sang Yan shared the same thoughts as Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle. This plot of land did not amount to much. It could not even be considered a small gamble. It was a small price to pay for Jiang Feng to learn his lesson.

 Chapter 88 - 88 Buying the Plot of Land

    88 Buying the Plot of Land


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle looked at Sang Yan. He knew instantly that Sang Yan was also going to agree with Jiang Feng¡¯s suggestion. With that, he no longer hesitated and said, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll contact the company that owns this plot of land.¡±


    ¡°Alright. Thank you for your hard work, Second Uncle,¡± Jiang Feng said, heaving a sigh of relief inwardly.


    Fortunately, his second uncle and Sang Yan supported his decision. Otherwise, it would have been really troublesome. This plot of land was very important to him, and it was important for him to obtain his second uncle and Sang Yan¡¯s support. Now that they agreed to his idea, things would progress much more smoothly. Since the land was seen as a loss, the owner would be likely willing to sell it, and it would also make negotiation much easier. He would likely receive good news in a few days. His eyes flashed when he thought about this.


    With the purchase of land handed to his second uncle, Jiang Feng thought it was time to focus on the stock market and Luo Yuchang and Kerry Financial Company¡¯s movements. He decided to return to the company and wait for news.


    !!


    ¡­


    Jiang Feng drove back to the company.


    The employees were surprised when they saw him again. They gathered around him as soon as they saw him.


    ¡°President Jiang, do you want a cup of coffee? I made it myself. I drink coffee a lot so you can be assured of its taste!¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, is there something big going on? I feel like you¡¯re in the company very often recently. Moreover, you¡¯re always in high spirits.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re my role model! I feel that even if I work hard my entire life, I won¡¯t be able to catch up to you. However, I¡¯ll try my best not to be a burden to you!¡±


    Jiang Feng waved his hand and smiled awkwardly. ¡°I still have things to do. I¡¯m sure you¡¯re all very busy. You should return to your work. Don¡¯t mind me.¡±


    Every time Jiang Feng came to the company, the employees would be very enthusiastic. Those who did not know better would think he was a celebrity.


    When Jiang Feng entered the office, Lin Miaoxue was pouring herself a cup of tea.


    Meanwhile, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong looked at the table with worried expressions on their faces.


    Lin Miaoxue looked at the door when she heard it opening. Seeing that it was Jiang Feng, she poured another cup of tea. Then, she said with a faint smile, ¡°Have a seat, President Jiang. I just made tea.¡±


    Her voice attracted the duo¡¯s attention immediately.


    The duo straightened their backs and asked, ¡°President Jiang, did you come with new information?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m still waiting for news. By the way, how¡¯s the company¡¯s recent operation?¡± Jiang Feng asked with a faint smile. However, inwardly, he felt slightly nervous. There should not be any accidents on his second uncle¡¯s side. The probability of an accident was not high so they should be able to catch up quickly. As for Cinda Financial, he had not run the company for a long time so he did not know about the internal operations.


    ¡°President Jiang, take a seat first,¡± Zhang Qidong said as he gestured to Jiang Feng to sit down.


    ¡°All of you take a seat as well,¡¯ Jiang Feng said as he sat down.


    Zhang Qidong smiled and said, ¡°President Jiang, the company invested in wheat¡¯s futures. The situation is like this now.¡±


    After that, Zhang Qidong moved the tablet in front of Jiang Feng and clicked on it, showing the operation of wheat¡¯s futures.


    ¡°President, wheat¡¯s futures dropped significantly from 11% to 5%. It seems to be a loss-making business, but after careful inspection, I found that it¡¯ll profit us,¡± Zhang Qidong said, beaming with joy at the end of his words.


    ¡°Why?¡± Jiang Feng asked, looking at the tablet.


    Wheat¡¯s futures fell for a few days. According to its previous inertia, they would not be able to earn money from it. In fact, it seemed like they would lose money. Today, wheat¡¯s futures only rose by 1%. As for its previous increases, they were less than 1%. Conversely, its fall was very rapid.


    ¡°I checked the weather forecast, and it¡¯s going to be very cold soon. At that time, the wheat harvest won¡¯t be good. At that time, the price will gradually rise. When the time is right, we can take advantage of time and sell it to make a profit,¡± Zhang Qidong explained. Despite his words, he was slightly worried. After all, weather forecasts were not 100% accurate. However, there were already signs that the weather was turning colder so money could still be made.


    Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, ¡°Let me have a look at the overall chart for the futures.¡±


    Since there was going to be a cold wave soon, perhaps, there were other investments to be made apart from wheat¡¯s futures.


    ¡°I¡¯ll bring it up for you,¡± Song Yaozhong said hastily as he brought up the chart for futures. He was curious about what Jiang Feng was going to do. They had already bought the futures for wheat. What else was there to do?


    Zhang Qidong suddenly grew nervous. He had seen Jiang Feng¡¯s ability. Previously, Jiang Feng had made a big move with Pork Inc., he wondered if Jiang Feng was going to make another big move. He also wondered how Jiang Feng was going to deal with wheat¡¯s futures.


    Lin Miaoxue was also curious. She watched from the side silently, feeling like he was going to surprise her again.


    Jiang Feng looked at the futures of soybeans.


    On April 11th, soybeans increased by 1.44%


    On April 20th, soybeans decreased by 1.22%


    On May 30th, soybeans decreased by 1.13%


    The fluctuations were all over the place and difficult to grasp. However, since there would be a cold wave, it would likely rise sharply. If crop production was reduced, then metal would rise as well.


    An idea appeared in Jiang Feng¡¯s mind, and he said with a smile, ¡°Invest in soybean and metal¡¯s futures. Operate on both short-term and long-term with metal¡¯s futures. Hold wheat and soybeans before finding a suitable time to sell.¡±


    Zhang Qidong was pleasantly surprised. He should have known that Jiang Feng would not only earn him thrice the amount of money, but also come up with new suggestions like investing in metal¡¯s futures. As expected, Jiang Feng was truly resourceful and impressive. Fortunately, he reported his work to Jiang Feng. Otherwise, he would miss out on such a good opportunity to make money. With this, the company would have more funds, which would make it easier to deal with Luo Yuchang later.


    Song Yaozhong¡¯s eyes were bright as he looked at Jiang Feng. He could study this exchange alone for many years.


    ¡­


    Two days later.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle and Sang Yan found the owner and completed the relevant investigation and confirmation. Today was the day of the formal negotiation.


    Jiang Feng had given his second uncle the authority to deal with this matter. He felt secretly emotional and anxious at the same time.


    Indeed, Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle and Sang Yan were veterans in this industry. They found the owner so quickly. He prayed that nothing would happen.


    In the afternoon, he received a call from his second uncle. His second uncle was very excited as he told him that the matter had been dealt with perfectly.


    With this, Jiang Feng finally calmed down. The plot of land had been bought, and the other party was very happy with the deal.


    Jiang Feng felt much more relaxed as he thought about everything. All the previous preparations were considered part of the final stage. It would not be long before they had to go against Kerry Financial Company.


    Lin Miaoxue had seen through Kerry Financial Company¡¯s previous movements and made them 20 million. Based on the previous situation and her words, Luo Yuchang should be able to make a profit soon. From the looks of it, it was almost time for Luo Yuchang to close his net.

 Chapter 89 - 89 Three Billion?!

    89 Three Billion?!


    Jiang Feng was both expectant and nervous.


    The funds were almost ready. The subway line announcement would be made soon, and the plot of land would definitely earn him a huge sum of money. In addition, Cinda Financials had also invested in various futures. If they made it in time, the combined profits would definitely be enough to contend with Kerry Financial Company. After they thwarted Luo Yuchang¡¯s plan, they would be more at ease and have the initiative. They would also be a step closer to acquiring Kerry Financial Company. Now, they only needed to figure out Kerry Financial Company¡¯s plan and narrow down the time frame for Luo Yuchang to close his net. After that, the next step would be easy to implement.


    However, time was still a problem. Although the land had been bought, they still had to wait for the subway line announcement.


    As for figuring out Kerry Financial Company¡¯s plan, there were Lin Miaoxue, Zhang Qidong, and Song Yaozhong. Lin Miaoxue had some ideas and was digging into details of the past. Perhaps, she would surprise all of them.


    !!


    Thinking about this, Jiang Feng looked at Lin Miaoxue and asked, ¡°How¡¯s the stock market¡¯s situation? Has Kerry made any new moves? Do you have any thoughts about the situation?¡±


    Lin Miaoxue went forward and reported to Jiang Feng. ¡°President Jiang, I¡¯ve roughly figured out Kerry¡¯s plan. The time range has also been roughly confirmed. Now, it¡¯s just a matter of money.¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded and said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The money will be in place soon. I estimate we¡¯ll have no less than three billion.¡±


    This confident statement made the other three people dumbfounded. They froze immediately. When they recovered their senses, they still could not speak for a long time.


    Three billion?


    Zhang Qidong did not even dare to dream about this. However, Jiang Feng was so sure that he would be able to make at least 3 billion.


    Previously, it was several hundred million, but this time, it was three billion. Jiang Feng¡¯s ability to make money was too terrifying. Not only that, but he was also very reliable during critical moments. He was able to make money in such a short time.


    Even if Zhang Qidong had more than thirty years of experience, he did not think he would be capable of earning three billion. What kind of boss did he stumble upon? He was like a god!


    Soon, Zhang Qidong¡¯s awe and shock were replaced by confusion and curiosity. How did Jiang Feng make so much money in such a short time?


    On the other hand, Song Yaozhong¡¯s eyes looked like they were filled with stars. He really wished he could learn from Jiang Feng every day. Jiang Feng was too amazing. They needed money, and Jiang Feng easily made money. If it were another person, they would not have been capable of this and would have been worried sick. On the contrary, Jiang Feng was calm and relaxed. He did not panic and solved the problem easily. This was not a feat ordinary people were capable of. Even Luo Yuchang needed time to recover from his loss. From the looks of it, Jiang Feng could definitely defeat Luo Yuchang.


    Similar to Zhang Qidong, Song Yaozhong also wondered how Jiang Feng obtained the three billion.


    Lin Miaoxue was also shocked. However, she had experienced many things during her time at Kerry Financial Company. As such, she recovered very quickly. However, she was not without doubts. Three billion was not a small amount. She knew Jiang Feng was not boasting when he said those words. After all, she understood his character. There were people in this world capable of earning three billion in a short time, and Jiang Feng might be one of them. However, how did he do it? Did it have something to do with the land he mentioned previously? The real estate industry was very volatile, but the profits were very high as well. However, he had just entered the real estate industry so his knowledge was not profound. The probability of earning such a huge amount of money as soon as he entered the industry was too small. Could it be something else? However, what else could it be? Did Jiang Feng also dabble in other industries that she did not know about?


    Finally, Lin Miaoxue could not help but ask skeptically, ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re not referring to the investment of 500 million that you drew from the company, right?¡±


    Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong shifted their eyes to Jiang Feng in unison upon hearing Lin Miaoxue¡¯s words. This was exactly the question they had in their minds.


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°I am.¡±


    The trio was stunned again. They looked at Jiang Feng in disbelief.


    Zhang Qidong could not figure it out. What kind of land could earn three billion yuan? Moreover, Jiang Feng only used 500 million yuan. What kind of land could Jiang Feng buy with 500 million that would make him three billion yuan? It was unlikely that Jiang Feng bought popular plots of land. That kind of land was very expensive. 500 million was definitely not enough to buy that kind of land. It would cost likely at least a few billion.


    Zhang Qidong was really very curious.


    Jiang Feng was too mysterious.


    Zhang Qidong was filled with anticipation at this moment. His forehead was sweating as he thought about his eye-opening experience with Pork Inc. This time, he was likely going to have another eye-opening experience again.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s ability was obvious to all of them. They did not know what kind of surprise he was going to give them this time. Most industries carried high risks now. Jiang Feng did not seem familiar with other industries as well. In the end, they really did not know much about Jiang Feng.


    At the same time, Song Yaozhong looked at Jiang Feng intently. He could also sense that Jiang Feng was about to make another earth-shaking movement. He did not know exactly what Jiang Feng did to be able to earn three billion in one fell swoop.


    Jiang Feng was too terrifying. He was able to make three billion from a 500-million plot of land. There was no doubt that he was a genius.


    Song Yaozhong was very envious of Jiang Feng¡¯s ability. He was even more determined to listen attentively whenever Jiang Feng spoke.


    Lin Miaoxue looked at Jiang Feng, perplexed. Earning three billion with 500 million in such a short time was too heaven-defying. That plot of land had to be a treasure land of Fengshui. She was really curious about the plot of land now. She had seen Jiang Feng¡¯s ability so she looked forward to the surprise he had in store for them.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s performance truly surprised her. From the initial ten million to a profit of three billion in such a short time, it was not an easy thing to do, but Jiang Feng had done it. She really wondered what kind of shocking investment would yield three billion. Although they had yet to receive the three billion, she did not doubt Jiang Feng¡¯s words. She believed that Jiang Feng must have taken care of everything. Otherwise, he would not have said so confidently that they would have three billion. If they continued with this momentum, their subsequent confrontations with Luo Yuchang would be easily resolved.


    At this moment, Zhang Qidong could not help but ask curiously, ¡°President Jiang, are you talking about the land you mentioned previously?¡±

 Chapter 90 - 90 Can a Plot of Land That Seemingly Vanished Into Thin Air Earn 3 Billion?

    90 Can a Plot of Land That Seemingly Vanished Into Thin Air Earn 3 Billion?


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s expression was skeptical. Unlike Song Yaozhong, he had a rough understanding of the real estate industry. The real estate industry and the futures market were different. The investment was long and slow. The value appreciated slowly as well. However, Jiang Feng¡¯s plot of land increased in value by six times in just a few days. This was subversive to his understanding.


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s faint smile could not hide his confidence at all.


    Zhang Qidong¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he saw Jiang Feng¡¯s confidence.


    Lin Miaoxue looked at Jiang Feng curiously.


    !!


    Now that they had locked down Kerry Financial Company¡¯s target and time of harvest, they only needed to keep watch and prepare for the possibility of Kerry Financial Company suddenly changing its plan. The most important thing now was their capital.


    Currently, Cinda Financial only had about a billion. Perhaps, this amount of money could be considered huge to other businesses, but in the field of investment, it was not a lot.


    For this reason, Lin Miaoxue was interested in Jiang Feng¡¯s fundraising plan. She asked curiously, ¡°President Jiang, what land did you buy?¡±


    ¡°Dongjiang F12,¡± Jiang Feng said as he looked at Lin Miaoxue.


    Lin Miaoxue was very particular about keeping her personal and work affairs separate. Even if they were a couple, she would still refer to him as President Jiang.


    ¡°Dongjiang F12?¡± Zhang Qidong was shocked.


    Lin Miaoxue might not know what Dongjiang F12 meant, but he had heard of it before. How could that piece of land be worth 3 billion? If he was not mistaken, it was considered a wasteland. The government would have to have a screw loose to build the subway line there. Was there a change that he was unaware of? He quickly went on the internet.


    The front page was filled with news about the subway line.


    A subway line could drive the surrounding area¡¯s economy. The land where subway stations were built naturally would increase in value. The buildings in the surroundings would also rise in value, and developers would also build buildings and houses. Due to the convenience brought by the subway station, many people would buy the houses. Everyone was anticipating the subway line announcement, causing quite a stir.


    The local headlines were mostly about the impending announcement and some were speculations about stocks that would see a rise.


    There were only five days left until the subway line announcement. At this time, speculations and forecasts about the subway line were abundant on the Internet. Even the appreciation of the land and buildings had been analyzed.


    Zhang Qidong quickly browsed the page.


    Most people were very optimistic about Haidian A12-39, the most popular plot of land in Ziyuan District. A small number of people were optimistic about Yisheng G35, Nola D14, Xingqi C49, Danzheng K18, Kalan H11, and so on. Some remote plots of land like Wangshi Y31-23 were also considered a candidate for the subway station.


    However, no matter how far down Zhang Qidong scrolled, there was no mention of Dongjiang F12 that Jiang Feng purchased.


    Dongjiang F12 seemed to have vanished into thin air. If he did not read about it previously and Jiang Feng did not mention it, he would have thought that the plot of land did not exist at all. After all, even a few people were optimistic about and fought over the remote Wangshi Y31-23. However, there was nothing about Dongjiang F12.


    Why was Jiang Feng so confident about earning 3 billion from that plot of land? There was always a basis for the news on the Internet. As the saying went, ¡®There¡¯s no smoke without fire¡¯.


    Song Yaozhong and Lin Miaoxue leaned over to have a look as Zhang Qidong opened a forum about the subway line.


    The netizens were commenting excitedly. There were a few people who swore that the plot of land they bought was definitely the place where the subway line passed.


    The comments on the forum also greatly pressured the trio reading them. Everyone was waiting for the day the subway line would be announced. They were waiting to see if their gamble would pay off and make them a huge profit.


    Song Yaozhong gulped as he read the comments. He had been in nerve-wracking situations like that many times before, but now that he was facing the situation again, he still found it hard to remain calm. Moreover, Jiang Feng had just bought a piece of land that did not seem very optimistic.


    ¡°According to the forum, Dongjiang F12 isn¡¯t very good. There are even comments that said it¡¯ll definitely lose money. President Jiang, can we really profit off this piece of land?¡± Song Yaozhong asked anxiously. If they lost money, not only would they lack funds, but their previous efforts would be in vain as well. Although they could plan ahead to guard against Kerry Financial Company even if they did not have enough funds, if they were too passive, they would be seriously injured by Kerry Financial Company¡¯s attacks.


    Song Yaozhong comforted himself.


    Jiang Feng was young and did not have much experience. It was already very remarkable for him to achieve so much. Perhaps, he was just testing the water with this plot of land. Moreover, the plot of land was not very big. They should not lose much of the 500 million. At most, their efforts would go to waste and they would miss out on a golden opportunity to strike Kerry Financial Company.


    Zhang Qidong felt troubled, and his thoughts were similar to those of Song Yaozhong.


    For so many to say the same thing about Dongjiang F-12, it was likely that the land was going to be a loss.


    With this thought in mind, Zhang Qidong was determined to find other ways to raise funds for the company. However, he was still curious why Jiang Feng was so fond of this plot of land. Moreover, news about the plot of land was really bad. Why did Jiang Feng buy it despite all the negativity surrounding it?


    Lin Miaoxue¡¯s big eyes shone with doubts as well. However, when she glanced at Jiang Feng, she inexplicably calmed down. She could tell Jiang Feng was very confident even if she did not know why.


    Jiang Feng was truly very confident, but he could not tell anyone about the source of his confidence. He saw the expressions on everyone¡¯s faces and said reassuringly, ¡°What everyone¡¯s saying is just speculation. Let¡¯s just wait for the subway line announcement.¡±


    Now that he bought the plot of land, he would only have to wait for the subway announcement. After that, the real battle would begin.

 Chapter 91 - 91 Everyone’s Looking Forward to the Subway Line Announcement

    91 Everyone¡¯s Looking Forward to the Subway Line Announcement


    Time flew by quickly.


    Many people were anticipating the announcement of the subway line. After all, it involved too many benefits. As the date of the announcement drew closer, the major forums on the Internet were exploding with discussions.


    In the largest local forum in Hailan City, new threads and comments flooded the screen.


    ¡°Insider News! I heard that the subway line will pass through Wanjian 56!¡±


    !!


    When this new thread appeared, it was instantly buried. However, it quickly rose to the top as many people commented on it.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°My cousin¡¯s mother-in-law has a colleague whose nephew is from the Third Bureau of the Subway Construction. They obtained the subway construction draft yesterday!¡±


    ¡°F*ck! Does that mean I¡¯m going to be a multi-millionaire soon?!¡±


    ¡°Me too! Waiting for the demolition!¡±


    ¡°D*mn, are you serious? I¡¯m still waiting for the demolition fee to marry a wife! If I miss this chance, will I be single for the rest of my life?¡±


    ¡°Is the news credible? Is this draft reliable? If so, I¡¯m going to make a fortune!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s absolutely reliable! That colleague is very reliable!¡±


    Once the subway construction started, the entire body would be relocated. The land would need to be expropriated to build the subway. When the land was expropriated, the state needed to send compensation according to the original use of the expropriated land. The compensation fees for the expropriated land included land compensation fees, resettlement subsidies, and compensation fees for the attachments and seedlings on the ground. In all aspects, even those who occupied very little land could get hundreds of thousands of yuan.


    However, only a few people could possibly get compensation for the demolition. For most people, their focus was on other aspects, and most of them treated the matter of the subway line announcement with an attitude of watching the show.


    Not long after, the topic switched to Wang Chengmin, the CEO of Wanda Company and the owner of Wanjian 56.


    ¡°In that case, doesn¡¯t this mean Wanda is going to earn a lot of money this time?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s said that CEO Wang set off a storm when he first entered the industry! He bought Rain 78 outside of the northern region. At that time, everyone thought that the remote piece of land in a county town was not going to make money. Who knew that later on, the country advocated developing the countryside? That land was close to the city and convenient for transportation. Its value rose immensely!¡±


    ¡°We can¡¯t compare to the bigshots! However, it¡¯s not bad to watch a show!¡±


    The subway line was a battle for the big shots. After all, it was a huge piece of meat. Just the construction of the subway line alone was worth tens of billions.


    The land and property appreciation brought by the opening of the subway line made all the real estate industry people drool. Wanjian 56 was originally a CBD-grade land. When it was announced two years ago that the subway line would be built as the connection point between the City Railway and the subway line, the land and property prices began to soar. In the past two years, it had already soared to 140,000, directly doubling in value. Even the stocks associated with it continued to rise. At the connection point announced by the subway line, it was more than a dozen points higher.


    At this moment, the forum stirred up another wave.


    ¡°Speaking of watching the show, I have something to say. Apart from those big shots, there¡¯s a female high school student participating in it as well. She¡¯s not even an adult! Do you believe this?¡±


    ¡°Really?¡±


    Nowadays, it was not surprising when the second-generation of the wealthy spent a lot of money. However, it was the first time they heard of a teenage girl investing in the subway line. After all, this was a battle between powerhouses. Experience and connections were important; money was not the only factor. All of them used all kinds of methods to fight for the land. All kinds of rumors and fake news were flying everywhere. The prices of land changed three times a day. Some of the rumors came from the netizens, but most of them were released by the big shots to confuse their opponents.


    After all, making money from the subway was a profit, and making money from their peers was also a profit. It only took a piece of fake news to make some small companies take advantage of the situation and invest a lot of money to buy some low-value plots of land from high positions, or to let the prices of those plots of land, which a lot of money had been invested in, fall. As such, banks would immediately enforce stricter requirements for loans, and there would be cases of money chains breaking. After that, everyone would rush forward to buy the seized and mortgaged land at an extremely low price.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s second uncle¡¯s company collapsed because of a piece of fake news as well.


    It could not be helped. On this battlefield, being weak was a sin.


    Everyone sighed when they thought about a teenage girl entering such a battlefield. These days, more and more people were becoming foolish with their money.


    ¡°As expected, making comparisons only serves to infuriate yourself. That teenager is definitely a rich second generation. She probably has too much money and doesn¡¯t know where to spend it!¡±


    ¡°Exactly! She¡¯s spending money to join the fun! Let¡¯s watch the show on the computer! Children nowadays really don¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth! They think it¡¯s easy to make a profit! Hahaha!¡±


    ¡°I know something. She obtained Dongjiang F12. It¡¯s so bad that no one wanted it. Anyway, she¡¯s rich so that bit of money probably doesn¡¯t mean anything to her.¡±


    ¡°Coincidentally, I¡¯ve seen that plot of land before! It¡¯s hopeless. However, there¡¯s another piece of land nearby that¡¯s pretty good. It¡¯s many times better than Dongjiang F12. If I were her, I wouldn¡¯t choose Dongjiang F12 no matter what.¡±


    Then, a netizen, who did not know how to read the mood, commented, killing the heated conversation immediately.


    ¡°No matter what, she at least has the money to join in the fun. As for us poor people, let¡¯s not worry about rich people.¡±


    It took 30 seconds before someone else finally commented.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Who¡¯s making a profit or who¡¯s going to suffer a loss has nothing to do with us. The only thing we can hope for is that the subway line is near our houses. At least, it¡¯ll be convenient for us to move around!¡±


    ¡°Right, right, right! Even if we can get the demolition fee, if the subway line is near our house, at the very least, the value of our house will increase a little.¡±


    ¡°Ah, I really can¡¯t wait for the subway line announcement!¡±

 Chapter 92 - 92 Success or Failure Depends on This Move!

    92 Success or Failure Depends on This Move!


    Under everyone¡¯s anticipation, the subway line announcement day finally arrived. In the morning, the office of the president of Cinda was already packed with people.


    Lin Miaoxue, Song Yaozhong, and Zhang Qidong stood beside Jiang Feng. In addition to these three, Jiang Feng also invited Second Uncle and Sang Yan. They had already let Zhang Qidong and the others know each other.


    The atmosphere in the office was tense. At noon, the subway line would be announced. Lin Miaoxue frowned, her eyes staring at the tablet in front of her.


    News kept coming in one after another, and many people were paying attention to them. There was no good news at all about the land that Jiang Feng had bought. However, there was no way to truly say that the land would lose money, but it would definitely not pass through the subway line. After all, the subway line was a state secret, so it would definitely not be exposed. Those big shots would not just buy the plot of land. There were so many people snatching the popular plot of land, so it would be no surprise if they caused trouble. Now, it was up to Jiang Feng to predict accurately.


    !!


    If he really made three billion, then the next thing would be easier to continue doing. If he did not, he would have to adopt a certain strategy and seize the opportunity to make a fortune by making trouble with Kerry. As for killing Kery, there was no need to think about it.


    Song Yaozhong was also sitting next to the computer with a nervous expression. In front of him sat Second Uncle and Sang Yan. They saw the news, and a piece of paper was placed in front of them.


    ¡°Dongjiang F12 is close to Wangshi 31. Some news on the Internet suggests that Wangshi 31 might be the place where the subway passes by.¡±


    Second Uncle pondered as he analyzed, ¡°I just checked Wangshi 31 with my cellphone. This land is different from Dongjiang F12, so there¡¯s no need for detours.¡±


    ¡°There are residential areas around, but it is relatively desolate. The buried depth of the track should be equal to or slightly higher than three to five millimeters of the decorative layer on the ground. The parallel difference between the tracks is less than two millimeters.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, Wangshi 31 is a piece of land that fits the conditions of the tracks. According to this, there¡¯s no chance for Xiao Feng to see the land.¡± While saying this, Second Uncle looked at Sang Yan. ¡°What do you think, Sang Yan?¡±


    Sang Yan thought about it and nodded. ¡°I¡¯m not optimistic about Dongjiang F12 either.¡±


    ¡°Dongjiang F12 has an unavoidable disadvantage: the location is too remote. The essence of the subway is to make it easier for residents to travel and increase the ability to commute in the city. Although it¡¯s possible to make some concessions on the line to reduce the cost of acquiring land, it¡¯s not to the extent of directly taking the subway line to the wasteland.¡±


    Many of the contents were already roughly guessed, and some people even divided the pieces of land that passed through the subway line into three lines.


    Among them, Line A passed through Wanjian 59 in Zhongyuan District, which would also pass through Haidian A12-16 and other sites in Ziyuan District.


    Line B started from Peony 48 in Beicheng District, went east, and passed through Q35 and other sites in Mianyan District.


    Line C started from Haizhong 99 in Nanding District, went north, and followed Wangshi 31.


    Line A was the most selective, while Line C was the lowest. As for Dongjiang F12, it was completely outside of these three lines.


    ¡°In my opinion, Dongjiang F12 will only have a relatively large room for appreciation under one possibility.¡± Sang Yan¡¯s finger swiped across the map on the screen. ¡°The subway line will move another 500 meters north based on the current prediction of Line C. Only then will there be a chance for one of the subway stations to be close to Dongjiang F12. It will be close to it and not directly built on this piece of land.¡± Sang Yan pursed his lips¡ªhe looked worried.


    The piece of land that Xiao Feng bought was really tricky. Whether it was the location or the situation below, it made it difficult for people to earn more money.


    When Sang Yan said that, Second Uncle frowned.


    Line C was the least likely of all the predicted lines, because this line itself was very remote. Now, they still needed to move 500 meters further north. The probability was too small.


    However, unlike Sang Yan, Second Uncle was not that pessimistic. ¡°All of this is just a guess. Wangshi 31 might not be the place where the subway line passes. Moreover, according to the judgment of the experts on the internet, the probability of Wangshi 31 being the place where the subway line passes is only about ten percent.¡±


    ¡°Right now, the probability is about seventy to eighty percent. There¡¯s a plot in Haidian A12-39 in Ziyuan District, a plot in Q35-40 in Mianyan, Bai Shaoj32, Xiaozhu S42, and Jiya M15.¡±


    ¡°The rest of the sites are further away and not connected at all. These few sites are closer to the land that Xiao Feng mentioned, but Haidian is impossible. Some of its key sites are separated from Dongjiang F12 by an oil pipeline, so they may not be close to Dongjiang F12.¡±


    ¡°I have seen the other sites as well. Q35-40 in Mianyan is quite close to Dongjiang F12, but the traffic doesn¡¯t seem to connect. There are too many winding roads, not to mention the other ones. Because of this, it would take a lot of work.¡±


    The two of them analyzed each other one by one. Suddenly, Zhang Qidong¡¯s voice sounded from the side, ¡°Guys, can you tell us if our land can make money or not?¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you listen to our analysis just now?¡± Sang Yan retorted with a firm tone. He did not hold back when he was working.


    ¡°Well, I don¡¯t understand any of it.¡± Zhang Qidong scratched his head. His hair had always been smooth, but now it had become a bird¡¯s nest.


    There was nothing he could do. The subway line involved the development of Xinda, so it was hard for him not to be nervous. The two professionals at the scene talked for a long time, but he didn¡¯t understand a single word. This feeling of powerlessness really made him depressed.


    Second Uncle understood Zhang Qidong very well. Moreover, he had been with Zhang Qidong for a few days, so he had a good impression of the boss of the investment company, who had become Jiang Feng¡¯s confidant. ¡°To put it simply, the probability of the subway line passing through Dongjiang F12 is relatively low.¡±


    ¡°However, this possibility is not ruled out,¡± he continued. ¡°And even if it doesn¡¯t pass through, this plot of land shouldn¡¯t suffer a loss. It¡¯s just that the development cycle is relatively long.¡±


    ¡°So,¡± Sang Yan replied, ¡°we can only wait for the announcement.¡±


    ¡°Yes, we can only wait.¡± Second Uncle smiled.


    ¡°Ah?¡± Zhang Qidong only wanted to vomit blood. Didn¡¯t these two mean that they didn¡¯t say anything?


    This feeling of waiting was really too torturous!

 Chapter 93 - 93 Want to Fight Me? No Way!

    93 Want to Fight Me? No Way!


    While Jiang Feng and the others were waiting quietly, Luo Yuchang was already sitting in his office, watching the forum and the live broadcast of the subway line with a contemptuous smile.


    He couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, then continued to confirm, ¡°Are you sure it was Jiang Feng who bought the land of Dongjiang F12?¡±


    A man stood by the side with his head bowed respectfully. He followed Luo Yuchang¡¯s gaze and stared at the computer in front of him.


    Hearing Luo Yuchang¡¯s words, he nodded repeatedly. ¡°I¡¯m sure. I heard Jiang Feng¡¯s name with my own ears and have already investigated it. The person who signed the contract was his second uncle, and the company is under his cousin¡¯s name.¡±


    !!


    Luo Yuchang¡¯s heart instantly relaxed. It was as if he had already seen the scene of Jiang Feng kneeling on the ground, crying as he looked for his mother when the subway line was announced. He became even more pleased with himself. As he had invested a portion of his capital in Cinda and failed to buy it, his funds were tight. He had been investing in the market to suck blood and was even cutting off some bad assets. He did not expect to meet Jiang Feng in the end.


    He had deliberately sold that piece of land in Dongjiang F12 to Jiang Feng. The amount of work on that piece of land was so large that it was impossible for it to be the location chosen by the subway line. Even the subway line could not be hooked. The surroundings were remote, and there were no resources in the area. Simply put, it was no different from a piece of wasteland.


    Even if the real estate industry took interest and developed on it, there was a high possibility that it would lose money. It was so remote, and there was no convenient transportation. Who would buy a house there? As for the possibility of selling this piece of land, it was even less likely. Who would buy such a useless piece of land? Even a fool could tell that if they bought it, they would lose money.


    This Jiang Feng thought that he had some ability, but in the end, he still lost to him. He definitely wouldn¡¯t have thought that the original owner of that piece of land was him, right? Kid, you dare to compete with a tiger? Just wait for me to cut off your flesh bit by bit until only your skin and bones are left.


    This Jiang Feng may have courage, but he was really stupid. To be able to buy this piece of land was also a surprise. This was obviously a trap. If he were to fall into his hands, not only would Jiang Feng regret it, but he would also have to kneel down and beg him. Now, he would let Jiang Feng lose five hundred million. After that, he would recover his blood and take over the small company. When that time came, Jiang Feng would have to kowtow to him and call him master.


    Jiang Feng should have been dealt with earlier¡ªhe actually dared to mess up his original plan. He really could not help but see Jiang Feng crying in front of him. He would unite with other people in the investment world and kick this brat out of the investment world forever.


    Jiang Feng would apply for every job, and he would be chased away. He would let this brat have a taste of what it was like to be down and out. He actually dared to disrupt his plan and make him replenish his blood. He even spent a certain amount of time. That was why the brat had to pay a heavy price!


    It wasn¡¯t just the company. Even he himself had to make sure that Jiang Feng would never be able to make a comeback. He had to make Jiang Feng continue to beg him.


    Thinking of this, Luo Yuchang couldn¡¯t wait anymore. He couldn¡¯t wait to see the moment when he stepped on Jiang Feng. The smile on his face widened. His HP recovery was almost over. He would be able to complete it in a few days after the subway line was announced. At that time, Cinda would be his, and the enmity of being blocked would be resolved.


    Everything was just waiting for the card to be played!


    ¡­


    Cinda and Kerry were not the only ones waiting.


    In the school cafeteria of Hainan No. 2 Middle School, Jiang Shi was queuing up to order food. To be honest, the food in the school cafeteria was not to Jiang Shi¡¯s liking. She had always preferred lighter meals, and the school cafeteria¡¯s dishes were heavy and full of meat.


    This was also taking into account that the students were relatively young, and young people liked those kinds of meals. People like Jiang Shi, who cared about health, were unusual among the students. Therefore, she used to eat outside. But now that the college entrance examination was coming up, in order to reduce the number of students who ate junk food, the school strictly required the graduating seniors to eat in the school cafeteria, which was why Jiang Shi came to eat there.


    ¡°Hey, who¡¯s that? I don¡¯t think I¡¯ve seen her before.¡±


    A frivolous remark attracted Jiang Shi¡¯s attention. Jiang Shi didn¡¯t need to look much to know who this person was.


    It was Huang Nuo, the spoiled daughter of a well-to-do family. She appeared nice on the surface, but in private, she formed her own small group. She usually bullied people and even tried to sow discord among them. Ever since her father went bankrupt, this Huang Nuo had led a group of people to point fingers at her. When she started the company, she didn¡¯t know this person and had never interacted with her. Now that she had fallen, this Huang Nuo was gloating like she hated the rich. It also made her see a lot of malice.


    Jiang Shi ignored it and pretended not to hear it. She could not do dog-eat-dog behavior. It was a waste of time for such a person. Other than gossiping, Huang Nuo had nothing else. What an idiot.


    She wanted to see what Huang Nuo wanted to say. If she was pushed too far, she did not mind letting this Huang Nuo show off in the cafeteria.


    Huang Nuo thought Jiang Shi didn¡¯t hear her, so she pretended to be louder and smiled. ¡°Look at that peasant pretending to be high and mighty. Who¡¯s she trying to show off to? It¡¯s so funny. I thought I was still rich.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve long been fed up with this peasant. When I was rich, I was arrogant, but now I¡¯m still like this. I¡¯m really not afraid of getting beaten up.¡± Another person chimed in, his eyes filled with jealousy.


    Why did she get first place in school despite being down and out now? Why was she so good-looking?


    ¡°This kind of person deserves to have no friends. You guys should be careful, alright? Don¡¯t let her pass off her bad luck to you. I bet it¡¯s her who¡¯s going to ruin the family¡¯s fortune. Her father is really unlucky.¡± Another girl chimed in. When they glanced at Jiang Shi, they felt that she was cursed.


    ¡°I think so too. Also, I bet her grades are probably fake. She has a beautiful face, so she must have bribed many teachers in the past,¡± Huang Nuo said smugly. She was grinning, but she pretended to be sympathetic and added, ¡°But she¡¯s really pitiful, you know? She thought she was a proud daughter of heaven, but in the end, her father went bankrupt and owes a lot of debt. Now, she¡¯s eating in the cafeteria with us.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s true. She has quite good self-control, and she¡¯s not even embarrassed. If it were me, I¡¯d bang my head against the wall and never come to school again. How very brave, right?¡±


    ¡°She¡¯s just thick-skinned. Brave? Hah, she¡¯s probably scared to death. Looking at her now, who knows what kind of trouble she¡¯ll make! You can¡¯t judge a book by its cover!¡±


    Except for Huang Nuo, everyone else was whispering, but Jiang Shi still heard them. These words were like flies hovering in front of her eyes.


    Jiang Shi was very pissed off. These people were nothing but a mouth. She then remembered that her father said he and her cousin had set up a company, and it was named after her. She was also the corporate representative, which was also the boss. She exhaled. She vaguely remembered that she overheard her mother and father¡¯s discussion.


    Her father and her cousin bought a piece of land and were waiting for the subway line to be announced. And today was the day of the announcement. Judging from the time, it should be now.


    Jiang Shi quickly took out her phone and sent a message to her father. ¡°Dad, how is the plot of land?¡±

 Chapter 94 - 94 Dongjiang, Metro Hub Station!

    94 Dongjiang, Metro Hub Station!


    Second Uncle didn¡¯t notice Jiang Shi¡¯s message because the live broadcast had already started. At that moment, the metro line was about to be announced!


    The well-known host, Li Dawei, appeared in front of everyone with a professional smile. ¡°Hello, dear viewers! I¡¯m today¡¯s host, Li Dawei¡­¡±


    Other than Jiang Feng, the people in front of the screen nervously swallowed. After a simple introduction, Li Dawei began to announce the name of the station step by step.


    ¡°The first station is Beijin station, and the second station is Donghai station¡­¡±


    !!


    As the name of the stations gradually appeared in front of everyone¡¯s eyes, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong panicked. Lin Miaoxue clenched her palms, already sweating. Sang Yan gritted his teeth, his heart in his throat. Second Uncle¡¯s hands and feet were trembling, his eyes almost glued to the screen.


    As for Jiang Feng, he was calm and did not panic at all.


    The employees, who were also surrounding the seven people, were also secretly nervous. They were even more impatient, wanting the host to finish speaking quickly.


    Except for Jiang Feng, the others all had a glimmer of hope. What if the subway took a turn? Although the possibility was very small, they could not help but feel anxious.


    ¡°The 23rd station, Wanjian Station!¡± The last three words were like a basin of water that completely extinguished the hope of Zhang Qidong and the others, except for Jiang Feng.


    Zhang Qidong sighed. ¡°No need to continue listening. This is definitely the A line. There¡¯s no reason to transfer to the plot of Dongjiang F12 again.¡± He was a little disappointed. Although he had expected this, he still couldn¡¯t accept it after hearing all this.


    Sang Yan pursed his lips. This time, Jiang Feng should have learned his lesson. It was actually a good thing. However, he was still disappointed when he heard it. Perhaps he shouldn¡¯t have had any hope in the first place. He was just daydreaming.


    Second Uncle also sighed. In fact, he should have prepared for this outcome long ago. The big boss¡¯s words were all based on evidence. How could he follow their thoughts?


    Lin Miaoxue thought for a moment. Although the matter of the subway line was broken, there was no other way to raise the funds properly. She had to find a way to see if she could raise more funds to deal with Kerry.


    Jiang Feng leisurely took a sip of tea with an enigmatic smile.


    ¡°Station 30, the hub station for the Metro Shinkansen line and Fengyang line reserved, Dongjiang Station!¡± When the others heard this, they were all stunned. A few moments later, they all burst into cheers.


    Initially, they thought that there was no hope and that they were just holding on to the hope that they would not lose money. In the end, they were actually chosen by the metro line.


    Next, they could prepare the funds. It was clearly written that Dongjiang F12 had become a metro station. The bright words made it hard for Zhang Qidong to believe it. He kept opening and closing his eyes to repeatedly confirm what he saw.


    He found that it was indeed Dongjiang F12. In addition, the host of the live broadcast described it accurately. He could not help but feel excited and overjoyed.


    ¡°President Jiang, you guessed it correctly, and it¡¯s actually a subway station.¡± He then looked at Jiang Feng in shock.


    According to various theories and news, this Dongjiang F12 had already become a chess piece. It was even clearly said that it had nothing to do with the subway line, but now it had actually become a subway station.


    Boss Jiang was really sharp at reading things. His talent was even higher than they had imagined, and he was not affected by outsiders. If it were him, he might not dare to continue gambling, even if he believed in his own judgment.


    Such a piece of land, so many public opinions, and terrible news¡­ How did Boss Jiang determine that this piece of land could bring them so much money? This piece of land was like a gamble, and it was impossible to get any accurate information. Yet, Boss Jiang was able to predict success in one go. This was simply like a god. Moreover, even those big shots did not predict success. Boss Jiang was just a newbie in the real estate industry, and yet, he had such accurate predictions. Boss Jiang was no longer at the genius level¡ªhe was a heavenly god.


    Lin Miaoxue was also surprised. She did not know how President Jiang had made his prediction. His ability was better than those big shots who had decades of experience. Those big shots did not think that this piece of land could make money¡ªthere was no news of them fighting over it. Thinking about this, she could not help but look at Jiang Feng.


    Jiang Feng was still as calm as ever. He was not surprised by the news at all. It was as if he had known that this piece of land would be chosen by the subway line.


    She was stunned for a moment. It turned out that she had underestimated Jiang Feng¡¯s ability. He was actually able to make a name for himself in this new industry. This industry was an extremely high-risk area that was easy to lose. Moreover, there was no news that this piece of land could be chosen by the subway line. Even netizens had the same opinion and thought it would not be chosen by the subway line.


    She had originally hoped that her prediction would be successful, and she had thought that the probability was not high. In the end, she did not expect Jiang Feng¡¯s prediction to directly attack the subway line. She did not expect this piece of land to actually become a subway entrance. Since it could become a subway entrance, then its value would greatly increase. Regardless of whether he chose to mortgage it, sell it, or build a house on it, he would be able to earn a considerable amount of money.


    However, how did Jiang Feng see through it? This god¡¯s ability to predict was too heaven-defying. The things inside were really shocking to her.


    At such a young age, Jiang Feng even had a way of accurately predicting the subway line. She was really impressed. As a person in her twenties, she believed talents really determined one¡¯s own future. Moreover, Jiang Feng¡¯s endurance was also amazing. If she were a newbie, she would definitely be a little timid. She would conduct a lot of investigations and choose a middle plot of land. In other words, she would not take the risk easily.


    She really did not expect that Jiang Feng would still be able to insist on his opinion despite the numerous negative views. If it were anyone else, even if they had made a judgment, they would probably give up. After all, this was just his own guess.

 Chapter 95 - 95 President Jiang Was Simply a God

    95 President Jiang Was Simply a God


    Song Yaozhong was stunned for a second, then looked at Jiang Feng affectionately.


    He now felt that President Jiang was simply too suitable for investment. It was really admirable¡ªhis talent in this kind of investment was perfect. If this were to happen in the future, even the most important matters could probably be resolved. Moreover, there was very little news about this Dongjiang F12 before the subway line was announced.


    Now, everyone was discussing the hot plot of land. President Jiang was actually able to choose this piece of land among the numerous hot plots, and it was still not guessed as one of the plots chosen for the subway line. What kind of sharp eyes was this? It turned out that there was really a person with such sharp eyes in this world. He had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen President Jiang¡¯s outstanding ability.


    Today was really an eye-opener for him. In addition to the pig futures from last time, President Jiang had instantly reversed the situation this time. If this went on for a long time, Cinda would be getting better and better. He could also gain a lot of experience. If he was a woman, he really couldn¡¯t help but be tempted by President Jiang.


    !!


    Second Uncle and Sang Yan also saw it. They widened their eyes and looked at each other in disbelief.


    Second Uncle was ecstatic. Originally, they were also predicting whether Dongjiang F12 would be close to the subway track or the exit. However, it turned out to be a station. The announcement stunned them. This prediction was indeed awesome. Moreover, the two of them had been trying to persuade Little Feng. If Little Feng listened to them, then Dongjiang F12 would be earned by others.


    They did not realize before that Little Feng¡¯s ability was actually so strong. Originally, he had earned 100 million. Having a company was already impressive enough, surpassing many of his peers. Now that they looked at it, it could be said that this was a model for his peers. At such a young age, he actually made an accurate prediction out of thin air without any information! This was simply extremely intelligent.


    Even he and Sang Yan, who had been in the Mercedes-Benz real estate industry for many years, were deceived by this news. They had analyzed so much, and in the end, they were still worried that the plot would lose money. They did not know how he could see through the mystery as the plot of Dongjiang F12 was indeed a little off-track, and the road was crooked.


    Thinking of this, Second Uncle and Sang Yan became confused. They looked carefully, and there was no trace of Wangshi 31 at all. They were worried. Logically speaking, Wangshi 31 near Dongjiang F12 was a good treasure.


    They had actually investigated and analyzed this piece of land, but the result was that it was not selected. This was too strange. The country did not choose such a suitable piece of land, but chose one that required a lot of construction work. This was really puzzling.


    ¡°Buddy, you should have noticed that the Wangshi 31 site that we had high hopes for did not appear on it.¡± Sang Yan pursed his lips and fell silent.


    Second Uncle nodded. The ecstasy in his heart had not dissipated, so the corners of his mouth were still smiling. ¡°We have indeed found it. This is a little unusual. Perhaps there are some obstacles in Wangshi 31 that we do not know about. We will know about this after this matter.¡±


    ¡°No matter what, this is a great thing. Since the piece of land that Little Feng bought has become a subway station, we can use it to our advantage.¡± Apparently, Second Uncle already had many thoughts in his heart, but then he was happy again.


    After so many years, this was the first time he was so happy. He was even happier than when he had earned money. His nephew was so promising at such a young age. His big brother had really brought him a good nephew. If not for this nephew, he would not have been able to rebuild the company and even stand up from his past failures. He did not expect that as a newbie, Little Feng would become a new dark horse as soon as he broke into the real estate industry. He would make a name for himself in this high-risk industry that was full of good and bad people.


    Thinking of the trepidation he had when he first entered the industry, Little Feng was really a good example for him now. He had lived for so many years. If he followed Little Feng to fight in this business again, he would probably gain a lot of experience. He would live to learn. Such a good opportunity was the virtue that he had cultivated for countless lifetimes. He was really lucky.


    Sang Yan patted his second uncle¡¯s shoulder and sighed, ¡°Little Feng has made such a difficult achievement at such a young age. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll give us even greater surprises in the future. Compared to us back then, his talent is a few degrees higher. Now, I can be at ease to follow him.¡±


    ¡°After this, Little Feng should have considered the following matters of Dongjiang F12. I think that he¡¯ll come and look for us soon. When that time comes, we will discuss it together.¡± In the end, Sang Yan¡¯s mood became brighter.


    Originally, when his company and his partner¡¯s company went bankrupt, he was unwilling to accept it. He felt that it was just a mistake. How could he let their industry, which they had worked for more than thirty years, go down in flames just like that? Now, the nephew of a partner had come out. Not only did it resolve his regret, it also gave him more motivation. He had even fired his first shot perfectly from the start. Everyone else who started from scratch was not unknown. There were very few people who could be as earth-shattering as Little Feng in his first step.


    This time, he was completely convinced by this young and promising young man. After rebuilding the company, he still had some doubts about this kid. When he bought the land, he thought that this kid was young and impetuous. Now, it seemed that this kid¡¯s eyes were different from the sharp eyes of ordinary people. He could see through many things that ordinary people could not see. In the future, this kid would probably spread his wings and fly high, becoming a big shot in the business world.


    The two of them would also be able to follow this kid and make the company bigger and stronger. To be able to understand such a difficult field to such an extent and still insist on buying this piece of land in Dongjiang F12 despite the objections of the public, this Jiang Feng was not simple.


    However, he was still curious about what Jiang Feng was thinking at that time. How could he be sure that this Dongjiang F12 would definitely bring them a brand-new income?


    When he thought about how calm Jiang Feng was when he bought the plot of land, Sang Yan was filled with curiosity and confusion. When he bought the plot of land, he looked completely confident and did not hesitate at all.


    Zhang Qidong was dancing with joy. He looked at Jiang Feng as if he was looking at a god. He patted Jiang Feng¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Kid, you have wisdom! I admire you!¡±


    ¡­


    In Kerry¡¯s office.


    Luo Yuchang had also seen the live broadcast. His heart was burning with anger.


    His eyes were fixed on the words ¡°Dongjiang F12¡± on the screen. He wanted nothing more than to peel off these words. Wasn¡¯t this Dongjiang F12 a wasteland?! How could it be chosen by this subway line?


    He had carefully investigated it. There was a more suitable land, Wangshi 31, but it had not been chosen. How did a wasteland become worthy of being a subway station?!


    He had originally wanted to pit Jiang Feng to death and let him learn a lesson. In the end, after the subway line was announced, the land he had sold to Jiang Feng had become a money-making treasure! Now, no matter what he did on this piece of land, even if he did not do anything, there would be people who would buy it at a high price. He had actually given that brat, who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth, a chance to make a fortune!

 Chapter 96 - 96 So Angry That He Wanted to Vomit Blood

    96 So Angry That He Wanted to Vomit Blood


    Luo Yuchang¡¯s eyes were blood-red, and his body was tense. The subordinate beside him felt his heart thump several times, and he didn¡¯t dare to breathe loudly. His eyes glanced at the computer screen in front of Luo Yuchang from time to time, and doubts rose all around him.


    This Dongjiang F12 was too ridiculous to be chosen. There were good places around him that he didn¡¯t choose, but he chose this one. It was so good that his boss wanted to take the opportunity to attack a piece of land for the underling.


    This time, he was done for. The plan to take advantage of the underlings¡¯ serious injuries to buy his company could not be realized. Instead, he had given the underlings a large sum of money to revive the company.


    His boss did not know what to do next. While he was thinking, he did not notice that Luo Yuchang¡¯s anger had already spread to himself. His eyes stared at the absent-minded Luo Yuchang as if he was about to spew flames.


    !!


    ¡°What are you standing there for?! Hurry and get out there to investigate! What¡¯s going on with Wangshi 31¡¯s plot of land?!¡±


    Upon hearing this, the subordinate¡¯s body trembled three times before he lowered his head and repeatedly echoed, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Then, he slipped out of the office, his body feeling much more relaxed. Investigating the plot of land was much better than accepting the boss¡¯s anger.


    Listening to the sound of the door closing, Luo Yuchang did not look over. He gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered. He had nowhere to vent his anger, but the corner of his mouth was still full of disdain.


    This Jiang Feng, even if he had the money, could he still annex a dragon like him? He was about to collect the net and restart a sum of money, which was certainly not less than this Dongjiang F12. It was just that it was not easy to severely injure this Cinda. However, as long as he found the right opportunity and point, it would be a matter of minutes before this Cinda was defeated.


    Jiang Feng¡¯s face appeared in his mind, which made Luo Yuchang¡¯s face turn ferocious. ¡°Kid, this time, I, Luo Yuchang, missed the opportunity and sold the good stuff to you. In the future, it won¡¯t be so easy. I will definitely get Cinda, no matter how many tricks I have to use.¡±


    Now, he was feeling smug. He wanted to see how Jiang Feng would fall. If he dared to laugh, he would have to pay the price.


    Luo Yuchang clenched his fists tightly. If he used too much strength, his veins would bulge, and his brows and forehead would wrinkle into the word ¡°King.¡±


    Now, Jiang Feng would have a large amount of money in his hands. He had to hurry up and get the money back, in case this little fish had the intention to attack the shark. With too many little fish, it was easy for them to rebel. Although the shark would not turn into a shell with little blood, it would bleed, and it would be troublesome to deal with it.


    Such thoughts moved in Luo Yuchang¡¯s heart. Luo Yuchang forced himself to calm down, but he still nearly vomited blood. A seed of unwillingness to be outdone was planted in his pupils.


    Jiang Feng, just wait and see. I will make you cry and beg for me!


    ¡­


    After the announcement of the subway line was completed, everyone who had been quiet for a while exploded again. The netizens were all shocked, and the sound of keyboard tapping was like a thief.


    ¡°This Dongjiang F12 is really unexpected. If I had known earlier, I would have bought it. Before the announcement of the subway line, no one wanted this piece of land. They all thought that it was a loss of money and a mistake.¡±


    ¡°This is great! Those plots behind can¡¯t rise in value anymore. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t mix in with them, or else I would have lost a lot of money. Those who bought the plots will suffer.¡±


    ¡°Who would have thought that the government would really catch me by surprise? I¡¯ve gained experience in the future. Next time something like this happens, I¡¯ll definitely do the opposite. I might even make a lot of money. Isn¡¯t that the case for Dongjiang F12?¡±


    ¡°Sigh, my dream of demolishing the land has gone cold. This is too surprising. I don¡¯t know who made the money, but I¡¯m so envious. A shot at making millions has been wasted.¡±


    ¡°Who else could it be? The first choice would definitely be that young high school student. I¡¯m an eighteen-year-old loser lying dead at home, while someone made a few hundred million at the age of eighteen and lamented the unfairness of the world. How despicable.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve really underestimated that kid. How very perceptive at such a young age. A genius is actually around me? I feel like a clown after thinking about what I said before the announcement.¡±


    ¡°This is practically on the news. A genius is a genius. I¡¯d better obediently go home and farm. I just can¡¯t be compared to that person!¡±


    ¡­


    In the cafeteria, Jiang Shi felt as if she was chewing on wax. According to the time calculation, the subway line had already been announced. If she needed it, she should be able to find relevant information on the internet now. However, she didn¡¯t believe that the information on the internet was more reliable when it came from her own father.


    Seeing that it was sent by her father, Jiang Shi instantly felt energized and quickly clicked on it.


    The information she had asked about the plot of land should have come to light.


    ¡°It¡¯s done. Dongjiang F12 has been selected for the subway station!¡±


    Seeing it with her own eyes, Jiang Shi was instantly excited. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that she was in school, she would have shouted it out.


    As expected of her cousin. The plot of land he chose was so valuable. As a veteran, her father even fell on the plot of land. This company had just been established not long ago, but it had already made such a big undertaking. In the future, the company would definitely become bigger and stronger in the hands of her cousin. After that, she would become a higher-ranking boss.


    However, even now, she was still many times taller than her peers. Those self-righteous fellows were still complacent, thinking that she was not a treasure.


    Jiang Shi snorted coldly. Thinking of those classmates who wanted to bully her, her expression immediately turned disdainful. Coincidentally, these few people were also chatting in front of a nearby window. The sounds of laughter and chatter echoed in Jiang Shi¡¯s ears. She really felt that they were noisy. She looked at those few people with contempt.


    So what if she went bankrupt? She was now the boss of the company. In the future, the company will also prosper. Her value was much higher than these people who were rich and powerful.


    In the future, if these people still dared to treat her like before, and she released her strength to scare these people to death, then from the looks of it, these people who mocked others really didn¡¯t have any ability at all.


    Noticing Jiang Shi¡¯s gaze, Huang Nuo became annoyed, and her face instantly darkened. She, who had been pampered since young, had never been treated with such contempt. Moreover, since she had grown up, she had always been the one who looked down on others. Jiang Shi was still a down-and-out peasant, so logically speaking, she should have been bullied by her. How could she look at her like this?


    That peasant really lacked manners. If she didn¡¯t teach her how to do things, she would really think that she was still that high and mighty phoenix from before who wanted to do whatever she wanted!

 Chapter 97 - 97 Lying Down and Enjoying It

    97 Lying Down and Enjoying It


    Sensing that something was wrong with Huang Nuo¡¯s expression, the people who were chatting with her looked at each other and followed Huang Nuo¡¯s gaze. It was Jiang Shi, who was walking leisurely.


    They suddenly understood. In addition to the fact that Huang Nuo had yet to vent her anger from being yelled at earlier, she immediately walked in front of Jiang Shi and blocked her way.


    The others also followed closely and walked beside Huang Nuo.


    ¡°What are you doing?¡±


    !!


    Jiang Shi was proud of herself. She glanced at Huang Nuo and the others and snorted, which made Huang Nuo and the others¡¯ blood boil. They were so angry that their bodies trembled.


    Huang Nuo sneered and said first, ¡°Jiang Shi, who do you think you are? You think you¡¯re some big shot? You don¡¯t have any talent at all!¡±


    Jiang Shi shrugged nonchalantly. ¡°Who cares? I¡¯m just gonna lie down and enjoy life.¡±


    Then, a look of disdain appeared on her face. ¡°Stay away from me. I earn a lot of money in an hour. I¡¯m so busy I don¡¯t have time to chat with you people. If you¡¯re interested, you can find out who owns the Dongjiang F12 at the heart of the subway line.¡± Jiang Shi couldn¡¯t be bothered with them. She directly passed by Huang Nuo and the others and headed toward the classroom.


    Huang Nuo laughed in anger. ¡°I thought you¡¯re gonna show off? After all this time, you¡¯re just bragging. Everyone knows how to brag! I even said this school is all mine!¡±


    ¡°This Jiang Shi really knows how to dream. Her brain must have been damaged. She couldn¡¯t take the blow and is so carefree now. She¡¯s really arrogant.¡±


    ¡°If I didn¡¯t see that she was crazy, I would have slapped her. She really thinks she¡¯s some big shot!¡±


    The girls were cursing.


    A boy suddenly exclaimed. Huang Nuo and the others looked at him strangely.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    The boy stuttered, ¡°The company name of that piece of land is Jiang Shi.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Huang Nuo and the others were shocked. They looked at Jiang Shi¡¯s gradually disappearing figure in astonishment and immediately fell silent.


    How¡­ How could this be¡­


    ¡­


    In Cinda.


    The employees were cheering and jumping for joy.


    After purchasing Dongjiang F12, Jiang Feng¡¯s presence in the office these days was quite eye-catching. After all, he didn¡¯t show up often in the office. As long as he appeared, it would be a big deal. Moreover, he had stayed in the office for so long this time.


    The news about the plot of land had more or less reached the ears of the employees. Not only Jiang Feng and the others, but even these employees were also nervously waiting for the news about Dongjiang F12.


    Seeing the scene before the live broadcast, the employees were completely blown up. They were like boiling water that had just reached the boiling point.


    President Jiang was a god. He could even control the plot of the subway line so firmly. He was simply their idol. Once he appeared, he would amaze everyone. Once President Jiang took office, two big things happened in the company, and these big things were beyond their expectations. They were big projects that could earn huge amounts of money.


    This was the rhythm of bringing their company to the international investment market! If this was their opponent, wouldn¡¯t their company be in danger? President Jiang¡¯s ability really did surprise them.


    In the office, Jiang Feng didn¡¯t know about all this. He calmed his heart.


    The matter of the subway line had come to a perfect end. The next thing was to maximize the value of Dongjiang F12, and this needed to be discussed with Second Uncle and the others. Perhaps they could have a better idea than him. After all, compared to him, they had been employed by the real estate industry for many years. They estimated that they could sell this Dongjiang F12 for more money.


    At this moment, Zhang Qidong could not help but ask, ¡°President Jiang, how did you see that Dongjiang F12 would become part of the subway line?¡±


    Jiang Feng calmly replied, ¡°It¡¯s just a coincidence. I just wanted to test the waters, but I didn¡¯t expect this piece of land to be selected by the subway line.¡±


    Zhang Qidong was shocked again, and then he could not help but praise, ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯re too modest. There are only a few people with this ability, and it¡¯s even less likely that there will be one in this world.¡±


    He kept a low profile, spoke modestly, and made decisions without hesitation. He was full of courage and had the demeanor of a leader.


    ¡°You guys continue to look at Luo Yuchang¡¯s situation. I¡¯ll come back later. It¡¯s been hard on you lately.¡± Jiang Feng stood up with a smile on his face.


    ¡°It¡¯s not hard at all. It¡¯s our honor to be able to do things for President Jiang.¡± Zhang Qidong grinned. He looked at Jiang Feng as if he was looking at the tip of a pyramid, his eyes shining.


    He did not know how President Jiang was going to use this piece of land that was worth quite a lot, but no matter what, it would bring them quite a lot of benefits. When the funds fell in an instant, he could make a series of actions before Luo Yuchang acquired the funds. He could turn Kerry upside down, and everything would be hopeful. After that, he was afraid that he would really be able to acquire Kerry. He was now fully convinced of President Jiang¡¯s decision.


    When Jiang Feng went out, he was being watched by the others. Eventually, the employees all gathered around him, and each and every one of them was as if they had been injected with stimulants. They could not wait to get close to him. Their eyes were shining with incomparable brilliance, as if they wanted nothing more than to stick themselves to him.


    The female employees were even more daring. President Jiang was still single, so they all had a chance.


    Such a young and promising man, not to mention handsome and rich. If they were to marry him, they would enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of their lives. Moreover, this man had a very good personality. He must also be very outstanding when it came to doting on his girlfriend.


    ¡°President Jiang, we already know about your second act. You¡¯re so great! You can even understand this piece of land clearly!¡±


    ¡°Yeah, I was scared when I saw that piece of land. I know a little about the subway line, but it doesn¡¯t give you any information at all. It¡¯s all based on guesses. In the past, when those subway lines were announced, I had a headache when I saw it.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, how did you do it?¡±


    ¡°I went to look at the news. Not many people talked about this piece of land. They were all talking about those popular locations. If I hadn¡¯t watched the live broadcast, I probably wouldn¡¯t have thought that the land you bought would make any money.¡±


    A group of employees was chattering like birds. They were talking about all kinds of things, and Jiang Feng didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry. This group had quite a lot to say. As soon as the subway line was announced, they looked for more news and information. However, they must have been waiting in the office for the past few days. This group must have been very confused, and they must have some understanding. It was normal for them to know about this news. After all, they were all from the same company.


    ¡°I was also guessing blindly about this subway line, so don¡¯t say I¡¯m too great.¡± Jiang Feng smiled amiably.


    ¡°President Jiang, you don¡¯t have to be so humble. We¡¯ve seen what you¡¯ve done. The company is thriving day by day, and President Jiang has played a big part in it. From now on, we¡¯ll be working under President Jiang.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, you¡¯ll have to work hard to help us improve in the future. Without you, I really wouldn¡¯t have been able to learn so much, nor would I have had the opportunity to earn more.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, I want to make a poster of you and put it in my room. You¡¯re a role model who I can learn from. I must be on the same level as you in the future and work hard.¡±

 Chapter 98 - 98 The New Strategy

    98 The New Strategy


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Everyone has been working very hard recently. I¡¯m not the only one who can run the company so well. In the future, everyone may have to spend more energy. I¡¯ll also improve the benefits and working conditions.¡± Jiang Feng smiled while looking at the employees around him.


    ¡°President Jiang, are you looking for a girlfriend? We¡¯ll help you with it!¡±


    These words struck deep into the hearts of the employees. The female employees¡¯ eyes were filled with infatuation, and some of them even started shouting.


    ¡°Although I can¡¯t be compared to you, President Jiang, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely study hard and try my best to be a good match. President Jiang, please consider me!¡±


    !!


    ¡°President Jiang, consider me too. I¡¯m still okay after graduating from university, and I¡¯m ranked first in my major. Recently, I¡¯ve also ranked second in the company¡¯s performance.¡±


    ¡°President Jiang, come and look at me too. I really admire you. I¡¯m not outstanding myself, but I¡¯m still alright. I¡¯ve been closely following the company¡¯s development over the past few years. I¡¯ve also participated in quite a few investments in the company.¡±


    The male employees were envious and jealous, but they didn¡¯t have the intention to harm President Jiang. As long as President Jiang was good, the company was fine. Their workload and salary were also fine. The previous week¡¯s travel was real. When the company expands step by step, there will definitely be more opportunities like this in the future. Who wouldn¡¯t like this kind of treatment? If President Jiang liked men, then they could go on the battlefield!


    With President Jiang¡¯s ability, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to compare with him even if they worked hard for their entire lives. It was really comparing people to each other. Compared to dead people, it was better for them to live their own little lives.


    The enthusiasm of the employees made Jiang Feng feel overwhelmed. Thinking of Lin Miaoxue, his smile deepened. ¡°I already have someone I like. Everyone, strive to find your own happiness. The company will also send their blessings.¡±


    The female employees were all extremely disappointed, but they still raised their starry eyes and looked at Jiang Feng, sighing in their hearts. Although their dreams had been shattered, they were still his employees. Even if they couldn¡¯t become husband and wife, it was still a wonderful thing to earn money along with him.


    ¡°I still have something to do. You guys go ahead first.¡± Jiang Feng smiled and drove to his second uncle¡¯s house.


    When the news of the plot of land appeared and he was worried about his home, his second uncle, Uncle Sang Yan, and Old Man Zhang went back. After resolving the problem of funding with them, it was time to intercept Kerry.


    Right now, Kerry was slowly recovering the source of life technology. As long as he bought a large amount of source of life technology before Kerry stopped funding, he would be able to intercept Kerry¡¯s funding chain and make Kerry unable to recover. He would make a huge profit.


    Jiang Feng made up his mind and entered Second Uncle¡¯s house. Sang Yan was having dinner with Second Uncle and Second Aunt.


    Seeing that Jiang Feng had arrived, Second Uncle hurriedly said, ¡°Little Feng, come and sit down with us.¡±


    Jiang Feng did not stand on ceremony and sat down to get to the point.


    ¡°Second Uncle, now that the plot of land has been settled, the next step is to deal with it. What do Second Uncle and Uncle Sang Yan think?¡±


    Second Uncle¡¯s joyful face suddenly became serious. He rubbed his chin and thought, ¡°This plot of land is very valuable. I think developing real estate is the best choice. If it¡¯s sold, although this plot of land can earn several billion in the short term, it¡¯s still a little lacking. The benefits brought by the subway will increase by many points in the future.¡±


    Second Uncle also made a plan in his heart.


    The market for subway houses had been very good recently. Many people were greedy for the convenience of transportation, so they would choose the subway house. In addition, when the subway was connected, it would lead to the gathering of businesses and people. The commercial nature would increase, and outsiders would also appear. At that time, the value of the subway house would increase greatly. If more people bought it, they could rent it or sell it for a good sum.


    ¡°Mortgage is a good choice. The bank is very friendly to the land near the subway. We can get a huge amount of money for a short period of time. Maybe we can even sell it for more than ten points. But after thinking about it, it¡¯s better to develop real estate. The value of the land will be higher and higher. It¡¯s still a loss.¡± Sang Yan pursed his lips, and his expression became serious.


    This piece of land had to be carefully considered. It could not be simply settled.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t we do this? We can cooperate with others to develop real estate in Dongjiang F12. We can let people buy shares and invest capital. If more people buy shares, they can become good assets. What the company needs now is those kinds of people too,¡± Second Uncle suggested.


    Sang Yan¡¯s eyes immediately lit up.


    This suggestion was not bad. The workers the company needed were fully completed. They could also obtain a large amount of capital. It was still the staff who had many ideas. Some things that he had not considered enough could only be considered from one aspect.


    ¡°Little Feng, we think it¡¯s pretty good. What do you think?¡±


    Sang Yan and his second uncle looked at each other and hit it off. Their eyes met Jiang Feng, and there was a little more anticipation in their eyes.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s possible. This short-term capital is too little. I need a lot of short-term capital.¡± Jiang Feng shook his head.


    ¡°Little Feng, what do you need so much short-term capital for?¡± Sang Yan asked curiously, guessing in his heart.


    There should be some big project next, but this required too much short-term capital. After getting people to buy shares together, they could also get more than a billion.


    ¡°I need to compete with a large enterprise and block its industry, so I need a lot of capital,¡± Jiang Feng said calmly.


    Sang Yan was stunned for a moment, but then he came back to his senses. ¡°Little Feng, you can leave some leeway for yourself. If you invest all your money after the fight, it will be too risky. If you fail, all the money will go down the drain, and the land will be bought for nothing.¡±


    Second Uncle also tried to persuade him. ¡°Yes, you have to think carefully. This is a gamble. I¡¯ve put all my money on one thing, so Little Feng, we have to be prepared.¡±


    ¡°No, Second Uncle, I have already thought about it. I will not change my mind. I plan to mortgage this land. I think mortgage is the best way to get more short-term funds. Second Uncle, Uncle Sang Yan, what do you think?¡± Jiang Feng¡¯s tone was determined, and it was obvious that he could not be persuaded otherwise.


    ¡°You¡¯re right. Mortgage is the best way. The bank will give us funds based on the value. The land is now worth a lot, at least a few billion.¡± Second Uncle sighed secretly.


    It was a good thing that Little Feng was fast and accurate in doing things. However, this kind of disadvantage was also big, and it would hurt both sides. It was not good for a young man to hesitate, but Little Feng was also quite ambitious.


    ¡°Okay, Little Feng. If you want to do it, you have to think about the pros and cons of this.¡± Sang Yan thought for a while and supported him.


    They tried to persuade Little Feng about the land before, and it almost made him miss the opportunity. Now that he used a large amount of money to fight against a large-scale enterprise, he might be able to succeed. If he failed, he could do something to recover from his loss later. It was also a good thing that Little Feng could learn a lesson.


    ¡°Then it¡¯s decided.¡± Jiang Feng nodded and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.


    It was a good thing that Second Uncle and Uncle Sang Yan still supported him. If they did not, it would be really difficult for him to settle the plot of land. After all, the company was not his alone.

 Chapter 99 - 99 I Believe In You

    99 I Believe In You


    After dinner, Jiang Feng returned to the company.


    Zhang Qidong and the others were eating lunch boxes. Seeing Jiang Feng return, Zhang Qidong stood up and said enthusiastically, ¡°President Jiang, have you eaten? There are still lunch boxes.¡±


    Jiang Feng was now a national treasure to him, so he had to treat him well.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten. I¡¯m going to discuss the issue of land disposal,¡± Jiang Feng said calmly.


    !!


    Zhang Qidong was stunned. Song Yaozhong and Lin Miaoxue also stopped moving and looked at Jiang Feng. The value of Dongjiang F12 was now so high, so no matter what they did, they could earn at least a few billion. It was just a matter of more points and fewer points, and if they didn¡¯t do it well, it would be a loss.


    ¡°President Jiang, what do you plan to do?¡± Zhang Qidong asked respectfully and politely, his heart filled with curiosity.


    This Dongjiang F12 could have many methods, but he didn¡¯t know which method President Jiang had come up with.


    ¡°I plan to mortgage it,¡± Jiang Feng said indifferently.


    ¡°Mortgage?¡± Zhang Qidong was shocked and confused at the same time. ¡°President Jiang, don¡¯t tell me you want to use all the money you have to mortgage to compete with Kerry?¡±


    Jiang Feng nodded. ¡°Plus the extra money that the company has earned recently.¡±


    This action made Zhang Qidong even more dumbfounded. All the money to mortgage? Including the money the company had earned, there were billions.


    If the billions failed to compete with Kerry, it would be a big loss. President Jiang was a bit too impulsive. Although the benefits of the company would be very high if it succeeded, the success rate was around fifty percent or even less than that.


    If it were a loss, there would be no balance in the company¡¯s account. When Kerry dealt with Cinda, it would be very difficult for the latter. A company without excess funds was like an empty shell, easily defeated by Kerry.


    Song Yaozhong was also puzzled. He couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°President Jiang, are you sure? If it fails, all this money will go down the drain.¡±


    He was also nervous. This was no different from gambling. If they won, everyone would cheer. If they lost, it would be very unfortunate. He really couldn¡¯t understand what President Jiang was thinking.


    ¡°I¡¯m very sure.¡± Jiang Feng looked determined


    ¡­


    ¡°President Jiang, why don¡¯t we take a long-term plan? If we run out of money, it¡¯s easy for Kerry to take advantage of the loophole. If something goes wrong in the future, it¡¯s very easy for us to not be able to move forward.¡± Zhang Qidong pursed his lips and fell silent.


    This action was too risky. It was as if he was walking on the tip of a sword. If he was not careful, he could easily fall off the cliff. President Jiang¡¯s idea was good, but there were some things that he did not consider the worst-case scenario.


    This Dongjiang F12 was already a pleasant surprise. If the pleasant surprise went down the drain, it would not be worth it. He really did not understand President Jiang¡¯s thoughts. If it were him, he would choose to moderate the strategy and invest part of Kerry¡¯s funds while using another part of the funds for backup.


    Lin Miaoxue was silent at the side and didn¡¯t take her eyes off Jiang Feng. She saw clearly what Jiang Feng did and the benefits it brought. Although she would have some doubts at the beginning, she felt that Jiang Feng could be relied on to do this. Using all the funds to bet was indeed a dangerous act, but if they won, it would bring a different start to Cinda.


    ¡°I know what to do,¡± Jiang Feng replied calmly.


    Seeing Jiang Feng¡¯s attitude, Song Yaozhong was stunned again. He asked curiously, ¡°President Jiang, do you have any other backup methods?¡±


    He felt a little lucky in his heart. If he had some preparation, he wouldn¡¯t have been so passive after the failure. Such a reckless approach would also have some guarantee.


    However, no matter what, he firmly believed that they would be able to smoothly resolve the difficulties they encountered.


    ¡°No, I haven¡¯t thought about it.¡± Jiang Feng shook his head, feeling slightly nervous.


    If Zhang Qidong and the others did not believe him, it would be difficult for him to withdraw the company¡¯s funds. Moreover, the company was with everyone, so he could not act recklessly on this matter.


    ¡°Well¡­¡± Zhang Qidong was shocked. ¡°Have you considered the consequences of failure? That¡¯s not a small amount. Besides, Kerry will definitely oppose us. Should we take out a portion of the capital as a backup?¡±


    He was nervous, so of course, he did not want Jiang Feng to take such a big risk. He had been too reckless and placed all his bets on one thing, which led to the bankruptcy of the company. If it weren¡¯t for Jiang Feng, the company would have been bought by Kerry.


    He was lucky to meet Jiang Feng. If he was hit by Kerry now, the company might be in a precarious situation.


    If he needed a lot of money, he would be very passive and couldn¡¯t make a move.


    Song Yaozhong also persuaded him, ¡°President Jiang, I think what Zhang Qidong said makes sense. We can use the small amount of money as backup. In this way, we won¡¯t be afraid of losing, and Kerry won¡¯t have any funds to counterattack.¡±


    He was also nervous and broke out in a cold sweat. He clearly remembered Zhang Qidong¡¯s pig futures crisis. If it weren¡¯t for President Jiang¡¯s plan, he wouldn¡¯t have dared to take such a risk.


    With so many previous experiences, how could President Jiang still be willing to do such a risky thing? Wasn¡¯t he afraid of losing the entire Cinda?


    He was well aware of President Jiang¡¯s boldness and abilities, and he was also very impressed that he could guess the subway station. But this time, it was still a little too risky.


    ¡°I understand the risks, and I understand your worries. I¡¯m also willing to bear the consequences of failure,¡± Jiang Fengding said.


    ¡°President Jiang, you also saw the consequences of my previous recklessness. The company is about to go bankrupt. Cinda has had so much difficulty reaching this stage, so we can¡¯t let everything go to waste.¡± Zhang Qidong wanted to persuade him again, and he sighed in his heart.


    They had done so much to deal with Kerry because it was a troublesome company. They didn¡¯t have any funds left. If they failed, everything they had done before would be in vain.


    Looking at Jiang Feng¡¯s calm expression, Zhang Qidong was even more confused, and he couldn¡¯t help but frown.


    President Jiang seemed to be very confident. He wasn¡¯t worried at all, nor did he want to fail in the future. He really couldn¡¯t figure out what gave President Jiang the confidence to invest all his money into this project without hesitation.


    Song Yaozhong was also baffled. Could it be that President Jiang had other backing? But he hadn¡¯t heard anything about it if it was indeed true. This attitude was really unbelievable. He couldn¡¯t understand it, but he was also worried. Although President Jiang was still young, the company couldn¡¯t afford to gamble like this.


    ¡°Just trust me, guys. I will do my best,¡± Jiang Feng said again, looking at Zhang Qidong, Song Yaozhong, and Lin Miaoxue.


    ¡°President Jiang, I believe in you,¡± Lin Miaoxue suddenly replied, her gaze resolute.
